re: What would the current healthcare situation in America be if Obamacare wasn't passed?

People get sick and they go to the hospital. Whether poor people have "free" Obamacare or no insurance at all, healthcare is still very expensive and taxpayers are footing the bill.

We do agree on this point....putting all politics aside, and trying to be as honest as I can.

Look at some of the projections pre-2008. They projected it would cost around $20,000 to insure a family of 4 today.

Seems a bit high, however my personal policy costs about $535 a month with a $5,000.00 deductible. That is only for me. It is high no matter how you slice it. I have no idea what it would be for, for a family of three right now. It is just so hard to tell, because with insurance there are so many variables. (Premiums, co-pay, deductibles, etc.) You can get wildly different premiums depending on what exactly you want.
