During an interview on CNN's "New Day," Wyden was asked why there haven't been more hearings on the GOP's latest ObamaCare repeal bill.

"When you're talking about 300 million Americans, one-sixth of the economy, and the reality is the Senate is legislating in the dark."

Wyden said the Senate Republican leadership has "embarked on a frenzy of special deal-making and elbow-twisting in the middle of the night."

"They're trying to defend the indefensible, which is making so many vulnerable Americans pay more to get less coverage," he said.

Senate Republicans on Sunday night circulated a revised draft of their bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare in an effort to win over key holdout senators.

The GOP is facing the prospect of failure with its latest ObamaCare repeal effort.
