this issue is really not just about healthcare. This is a profound moral debate defining who we are as a people today and whom we want to be as a people in the future. A great nation is not simply one judged by how many millionaires and billionaires we have and by how many tax breaks we can give to billionaires. A great nation is judged by how we treat the weakest and the most vulnerable amongst us--those people who don't have fundraising dinners, those people who don't contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars into the political process. A great nation is judged by how we treat the children, the elderly, the sick, the poor, the people who have disabilities. This is what a great nation is. This legislation is not worthy of a great nation. This legislation must be defeated. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Washington.
