11:16 pm
workers in congrs as i understand it and now the office of personnel management says the government will keep paying. you say, before i g any further, maybe not. congress has to rulen this. it seems to me if your taking people out of the pot that shou be paying in, doesn't that hurt taxpayers more? >> what happens is these are employees. the program runs. this is true of all federal workers. they pay 75 percent of the premium, like anybody else, up to a certain amount. the problem is not so much the money. the problem is that congress, like so many other places in this legislation justice of togegether job. it and know what they're redoing and in of wrigley kick themselves out of their own health plan. okay. fine. they've done a lot of other silly things because they did not pay attention. now they're the only ones that get a deal over. but the consequences for

street journal has a calculated that people can use to navigate the process. where do we find that? >> it's free. and again, we are trying to simplify this and bring transparency to the marketplace. we saw all of these plans a people complaining constantly, we tried to find a way to make it easy. it's four simple steps. you can type in the number of lines you need, how muc text, voice, and data. t-mobile, at&t, verizon, sprint. gerri: i may not know theight answer to that question is the other problem. shouldn't he just go on limited everything? >> it's a good question. sprint and t-mobile both doubt that. their networks are weaker than at&t and verizon. most people, you're really talking about data because most people with their smart phones consume a lot of data. most people use under one

vice presidents of charles robb. thank you for coming on the show. the study was really pretty shocking when you get down to it . >> absolutely. it was pretty shocking. we think about investors today. even more savvy than they ever have been. they used to comparison shop and make sure they get the best deal, particularly in this challenging economy. what's remarkable about it is, there are three times more likely to shop around for a $500 barbequed and they are to shop around for the best deal on bonds which may cost them thousands of dollars. making it en more amazing, the current low interest-rate environment where investors are looking around under every rock trying toind a little bit of yield, saving aew percentage points on bonds can make a big difference. gerri: you have to get the best price. that's the bottom line because of the end of the day the yield is so tiny. you have to get the best price. we complain on the show all the
