The American people elected a House with a vision of a better way on health care, then a Senate, then a president. Now, we have a duty to act. The president is ready with his pen. The House has passed legislation already. Today, it’s the Senate’s turn. That starts with the vote we’ll take momentarily, the critical first step in that process, the Motion to Proceed. It’s the vote that determines whether this debate can proceed at all.
Through the years, Mark and the Kentucky Farm Bureau have provided valuable insight to me as a member of this Committee, and I’m very grateful for that support. This morning, he will continue to aid our work, highlighting the priorities for farmers in my state and from across the nation. His testimony will provide useful insights into the challenges facing American farm families and how Congress can help.
The only way we’ll have the opportunity to consider ideas is if Senators are allowed to offer and debate them. That means voting to begin the open amendment process. That means voting to kick off a robust debate in which Senators from all parties can represent the views of their constituents. It means voting to proceed. And that will occur tomorrow.
