My two senators (D) from MN helped lower the medical device tax once already and are supporting to lower it again.

When ‘Tax and Spend Democrats’ want to lower a tax I have to wonder what’s in the pudding.

“When ‘Tax and Spend Democrats’ want to lower a tax I have to wonder what’s in the pudding.”

Your senators are being lobbied hard by Medtronic, no doubt. I wouldn't give them an ounce of credit for integrity or vision on this issue. My general feeling is that the only way to fully get rid of this horrible legislation is to make sure everyone feels the pain. Why should the device companies be exempt from the pain, but patients, physicians, small businesses, and others have no such exemption?

I'm not sure of the best way to deal with this particular issue, but I don't see it as clear cut.

I have a hunch that they want the democrats to choke on what they have done until they are ready to get rid of a whole lot, if not all of the mess.

The Witless Wonder and Stuart Smalley both voted for the implementation of the medical device tax through DeathCare. When the predictable blowback hit them, they shape-shifted.

Don't let them off the hook that easily. They're just tax-and-spend lefties who got caught.
