    In debate last night at Hofstra, re Health Care Plans Obama cited average cost of health plan at about $12,000. McCain claimed it was about $5,400 (or somewhere in that vicinity as I recall, but less than half the Obama figure.) This was important with respect to the gap between the $5,000 tax credit in McCain's plan to help pay this, vs. the $6,000+ gap if Obama's figure was correct.

    I looked it up on the National Coalition on Health Care Site. Their document, citing 19 authoratative resources, stated that in 2007 average cost for a family of four (about the average size of the average family) was $12,100. Obama never bothered to dispute McCain's figure, which was apparently an outright lie, unless he was talking about average cost per person..but his plan benefits only the head of household.
