Ron Wyden said "Madam President, I gather that this is the first of the motions to commit this legislation back to committee. I want my colleagues to understand what this is really all about. These motions to commit are motions to kill this bill, period. And what that means is: Let's try to do everything we can to delay Democrats from being able to deliver for the American people lower prescription drug costs for the elderly, lower healthcare premiums, lower carbon emissions, lower energy costs, less tax cheating by the wealthy. The Senate ought to be moving this legislation forward instead of trying to kill the bill through these motions to commit. One last point, I gather we are going to have a bit more of this discussion.
