you're going to see literally a man who resembles paul ryan throwing granny off a cliff. that, they said, would be the result of the first ryan plan, literally granny off a cliff. that is demagoguery. you can expect exactly the same thing to happen again because anytime you touch any entitlement program there is enormous and emotional opposition to it. bill: despite that music as the under bed there. paul ryan really went out on a limb with his position. is he changing his position somewhat now? >> the first ryan plan was out and out privatization. this new plan is a softening of that to some degree in that medicare remains intact. it remains an option. just one of several other options and must now compete with, would compete with private health care insurance. remember, anybody 55 and over would not be affect at all by this plan. bill: that is one thing he tried to hammer home since the very beginning. thank you, stuart varney. see you at nine 20 on fox business. martha: this is a big news. this is a very interesting development at all this. look closer at the medicare

so if you want to call a system like that medicare, telling granny to go buy private insurance on the open market but with a coupon, then sure, call it medicare. call it macaroni. i don't care. but what everybody understands medicare to be, guaranteed government health insurance for old people, for what medicare actually is, the paul ryan plan kills medicare. almost every republican in the house and the senate voted to kill medicare, when they voted for the paul ryan plan, this there was much rejoigs on the democratic side, and that's because democrats knew they could stop this thing from actually becoming law. president obama would never sign anything like that. but they also knew that republicans had just hung this giant albatross around their own necks. for the rest of their careers now they will have to explain or live down or apologize for the fact that they voted in 2011 to kill medicare. the mob from the nursing home with pitchforks is here. they'd like to have a word with you. thank you. at the start of the republican presidential campaign we spent weeks. jaws dropped, eyebrow
