Every Democrat in the U.S. Senate voted against the bill, along with Republican U.S. Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Thom Tillis (North Carolina).
Oregon’s senior U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden condemned the reconciliation bill in a statement issued through the Committee on Finance.
“This Republican bill is about caviar over kids, hedge funds over health care, and Mar-a-Lago over the middle class. If this becomes law, only the ultra-wealthy will make it through unscathed,” he said in the statement. “Every other American will be hurt in one way or another, whether it’s cancer patients losing their health coverage, kids going hungry or families being forced to pay higher utility bills and insurance premiums.”
The bill now heads back to the U.S. House for a final vote. CBS News reports the House could vote as soon as Wednesday morning on the version that passed on Tuesday.
