Try to check this site, i just found it on the net recently. I guess they can help you with such things.

There is no average cost because there is many different companies available and each company can have anywhere from 10 to 35 different plans. You'll be able to find plans anywhere from $200 to $1500 per month but if you have any pre-existing conditions or do not fall within the preferred height and weight guidelines the premium may be higher.

When you shop for a new car you have a choice between the basic low end model with no options, a fully loaded luxury car, or something in between. Health insurance is the same. If you shop for the cheapest you'll get the basic low end model which may or may not have the benefits and coverage you are looking for.

According to the Robert Wood Johnson Report the average cost of health insurance in California is $10,551 annually for a family (in 2005).

Of course, 2 people are much cheaper than the average family of 4 and if you really want to find a cheap CA health insurance policy and you are relatively healthy then choose an individual plan instead of a more pricey group plan.

The trick is to make sure and compare quotes from at least 3 or more big and trusted companies like Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Aetna, etc. So this every 6 months or so and you will for the most part always have a cheap CA health insurance rate.
