MIAMI (AP) - Newly-released data shows that the average premium for a mid-range health insurance plan in Florida under the federal health overhaul is $328 a month.

The data released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shows that the average premiums in Florida track closely with the national average.

Compared to estimated premiums in other states, Florida's estimated premiums fall squarely in the middle.

But the data shows there's some variation based on where on lives.

Before tax credits kicked in, premium estimates were highest in Orlando and lowest in West Palm Beach and Tampa.
