I appreciate the words of the Senator from Illinois. To close, Senator Durbin's comments accurately explain that there is a bias in this institution on tax policy and health policy for some Senators to take care of themselves and people like them, a little more than paying attention to the rest of the country. I think this amendment shows this and is one more good reason to vote against the Cruz amendment. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
