Ron Wyden said "Mr. President, I oppose this amendment for two reasons. The first is, it would water down the new negotiations program, so it would be harder to negotiate over the most expensive drugs in Medicare today, including cancer drugs, which are at the top of our list. Second, it would water down the efforts at the Internal Revenue Service to beef up tax enforcement against wealthy tax cheats. I would urge opposition to the Marshall amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 5389 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
