LET'S GO SHOPPING!

CHRIS WALLACE: What do you think of the Ryan plan on Medicare?
MITCH McCONNELL: Well, what Paul has done here is implement a premium support proposal at the end of the period, which is a very sensible way to go to try to save Medicare. ... What Paul Ryan would do is to empower grandma in the private market, to shop and get the best possible deal.

Let's say I'm a 68 year old grandma and I want to buy some health insurance. About how much would it cost me and what would my deductible be?

Has anyone "run the numbers"?
