Here's Senator Rand Paul in his own words. This paragraph, as well as some history on the subject, seems worthwhile reading:
"General Hayden tells us he is 'willing to give the USA Freedom Act a try.' But that is only after the intelligence community is forced to admit that they lied about the very existence of bulk collection. My guess is that their easy acquiescence to transferring the bulk collection from the government to the phone companies is somewhat disingenuous since no reform would have ever been possible but for Edward Snowden revealing that the intelligence community was lying to Congress."
