About how much would full health insurance cost for a business with about 8 employees? More info.?

For a school project we have to create a business plan, we are going to give our employees health insurance, but we are unable to get quotes from insurance places without signing up with their website.

We just need an aproximate estimate, per employee per month.

Any help would be appreciated, even links where we might be able to find more info.

THanks in advance!

Answer:
At my company, which has 20 employees, insurance is HIGH.
I contribute $100/paycheck. I'm paid semi-monthly (twice/month). It's just me on the policy. The company contribute $600/month. I'm currently in Texas.

When I lived in Virginia and I saw the bill for the medical insurance, for singles it was $400/month. It's just getting higher and higher.

Single employees, you're looking at $200/month. For a family, closer to $400-500/month.
Roughly $1000 per month for a single worker. $2500 with family
Well, I pay about $50 a pay check for my health insurance and my boss pays 80% of the premium for me. So, that is $100 a month for me and $500 a month for him. And that is just for me. If an employee signs up for himself +family it is WAY higher.
I work for a health insurance company in NJ. There is no real "average" cost because it all depends on what kind of plan. If you tell me what kind of plan you want I can run it for you. A single rate is usually around $300-$400.. A husband/wife is usually around $700-$800.. A parent/child is usually around $600-$700 and a family is usually over $1000. These are just estimates. If you need more help let me know.
I am not sure what state your company is headquarted at, but I can give you some group rates in california- In los angeles CA, rates are delivered for small groups 2-50 employee's, they are also rated by age bands and plan designs, each carrier offers several different plans- up to 20 plans from each carrier. Pre-paid plans (called HMO's) are the most expensive, and then PPO plans (deductible plans) higher the deductible the lower the premiums. So what does all mean in plain ole fashioned english?.. that you can purchase a high deductible plan for an employee aged under 30 for about 100.bucks a month, HMO plans range from approx. 230. bucks a month for employee aged under 30, as your employees get older the price goes up!.. and add on additional costs for dependents.
