What hypocrite McCain is planning to do is to end the tax credit given to employers who offer health care (medical, medicines and dental) to their employees. This will effectively end employer offered health care. Employees will be on their own to shop for this for self and their families.

For those who have no idea of what it will cost, if you are one of the lucky one covered by your employer, just ask the HR Department what it will cost if you end up under COBRA.
If McCain gets elected and fulfills his promise, you can safely add the cost under COBRA + 100%.
