In the document that founded this great Nation, it says all men are created equal. Under this bill, the drug companies are a lot more equal than the seniors I can tell my colleagues. Why would we for any reason prohibit the negotiation of lower prices by Medicare? Why would we do that? Tonight, we make a choice. We either serve the drug companies or serve our seniors. I find this a very easy choice to make. I choose to serve our seniors. I will not be a part of the continued effort to allow the prescription drug manufacturers of this country to rob the senior citizens of America.
