Here's a first hint about rates in Texas, Florida and some other states;
Average Obamacare Premiums Will Be Lower Than Projected - Kaiser Health News

Unfortunately, the comparative data focuses on 27-year-olds and families of four, two demographics not well represented here at ER.org.
There is a table, on page 15, that lists second-lowest silver plan premiums by state (calculated as a weighted average). My only firm conclusion reviewing the information was that Wyoming is likely to move down many "best places to retire early" lists.
Also available are charts showing the number of plans available in the states' individual "rating areas". ASPE
In Houston, I see that there will be 50 plans offered by 7 carriers: 4 catastrophic plans, 14 bronze, 17 silver, 14 gold and 1 platinum.

Here's a link to the full report:The analysis showed huge variations among states: A family of four making $50,000 in Wyoming, for instance, would pay $1,237 a month on average for a midlevel plan before subsidies, compared to $584 a month on average in Tennessee. After subsidies are added in, however, the cost to both families would be $282 because the amount they pay is linked to their income, not to the cost of coverage...
While experts say premiums vary across the states and even within states, the analysis pegged the national average for an individual at $328 a month for a midlevel policy called a silver plan, before subsidies are factored in. That’s less than the average $392 projection drawn from earlier data released by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which will mean savings to families as well as to the federal government for tax credits...
One of the report’s most striking findings is that states like Texas and Florida, where the law has faced fierce opposition despite high rates of uninsured residents, will see rates at or below the national average.
