"Are you a Massachusetts resident?" Romney asked.
"No I'm a New Hampshire resident," Griffin said, and then added, before Romney could jump in, that "we pay over $1,000 a month for our insurance. Then we have co pays. Every time you go to the doctor, it's $50 a visit. Then you have co-pays for our prescriptions. Can you tell me what your co pay is?"
"Yes," Romney said. "$10 for each prescription."
"That's very nice isn't it?" Griffin answered dryly.

"Mine are like $30-$50. I have three sick children."
