    Based on data compiled for health insurance plans in 2014 with the new mandated coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the weighted average of a benchmark(silver, or 70% benefit level) health insurance plan in Kansas is $260; which is below the $328 national weighted average. As for current Kansas averages, the 2013 data is not accurately completed and compiled yet. But by best estimates of 2013 data, the average premium in Kansas is $182, but does not disclose or reflect benefit levels or type of coverage(the national average benefit level is 78%). So, in conclusion, a resident of Kansas can expect to pay on average $182 for a health plan the remainder of 2013, and then $260 starting 2014(a 43% increase from 2013, which is in line with the national weighted average of overall premium increases). But, premiums vary widely across the state and by county, and by age.
