Part of the Obamacare bill, a 2.3 percent tax increase on medical device manufacturers, will begin in 2013, and could equate to $29 billion in additional taxes.

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at Digg and at Reddit and in Stumbleupon and Delicious

MA Moonbats are attacking Scott Brown for being against this because it will kill jobs at the 400 Medical Device Manufacturers in MA who are “his buddies”. Then they attack him on not creating jobs in MA.

I'm one of the people who lost their jobs because of this tax. My company calculated the cost, then fired enough high salary people to cover it, end of problem.

The RATS who wrote this bill were apparently unconcerned that modern medical devices LOWER the cost of health care by eliminating the need for expensive surgury like bypasses and gall bladder operations. Stents are done on an outpatient basis instead of spending several weeks in the hospital.

The more than stupid Republican response is to introduce legislation that has no chance of a Senate vote - where are the TV ads and the talking heads pointing out that Obambicare cuts medicare benefits to senirors and this take on medical devices to pay for kids out of college to ahve coverage? FAce facts republicans fight like they are afraid of getting a bloddy nose.

Let me get this straight. Obamalamadingdong wants to make health care more affordable by placing heavy taxes on medical devices. Yes kiddies, lets all stare deeply into the bright white light of stupidity... Feel better now?

There are parts of Obamacare that are Unconstitutional, some are onerous in terms of a regulatory load. This is flat out stupid and punitive to the private sector, for no good reason.
