Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today issued a statement following the Senate’s vote to proceed to the health care reconciliation vehicle:
“Senate Republicans have voted to proceed to a bill sight unseen - the only guarantees for the American people are higher costs, worse health care, and tax breaks for special interests," Wyden said. “Democrats in the Senate will be holding our colleagues accountable at every step of this rushed and secretive partisan effort to take Americans’ health care away."
