How much do Americans spend on health insurance each year?

in Britian we have the NHS which is like canada's health service, which is funded by taxpayers money, so i'm just wondering how much are you spend on it.
--------------------
Too much for too little. My parent spend over $500 a month for the 2 of them, but the insurance won't cover prexisting conditions, my mother's heart condition, depression, bad back or fibromylgia. They have a co-pay for every doctor's visit of $20, the insurance only pays 40% on medicine and the list goes on. Even worse, my sister pays almost $600 a month for her and 2 kids and it won't cover sick visits to the doctor and she has a $20copay for visits and medicine. My father went to the emergency room because of severe pain, turned out to be a kidney stone. The insurance only covered half the hospital visit and nothing for the ambulance or tests. Our healthcare system sucks!
