How much do US citizens pay on health insurance?

I earn £24000 ($36000) a year in the UK and pay 20% tax. For this type of wage how much tax and then how much health insurance would a US citizen pay?
--------------------
At $36000, your Federal tax rate would be 15%. There is also a state income tax in most states. Health insurance costs vary widely. Some employers pay 100% of the cost, others only part, and some none at all. If you have to buy insurance on your own, the cost depends on your age, health history and how much coverage you want. If you have any significant pre-existing conditions, most insurance companies will simply refuse to insure you, in which case you're out of luck.
