18 Dem Senators ask to delay

[Horn6721]

the part of obamacare that taxes medical devices,
You can't make this stuff up nor do you need to,

from letter toHarry reid

Dear Leader
( aren't they confused here ?)
We write to request a delay in the implementation of the medical device excise tax scheduled to take effect Januray 01,2013"

seems they are worried about losing jobs.
when did obamacare pass?
and they just now got around to reading it?

At least they are worried about job loss. BO sure isn't

actual letter at linkThe Link

Hey Dems WHY did you vote for it if it isn't fiscally responsibile?

How would the loss of the revenue from this tax even for any length of time affect obamacare?

shouldn't someone have asked these questions before now?

Shocking. I expect lots of carve outs as the law actually gets fully implemented. If these revenues go away, where do they additionally tax? They will try to offset these with less reimbursement to hospitals and physicians. Medicare and Medicaid are already losses for hospitals, yet they will see less and less reimbursement from these payment sources. Tip of the iceberg....

Hospitals will close and many doctors will choose not to accept these patients. Yes, there will be some winners - but it will not be the smaller hospitals, the small community physicians or medical device innovators.

And no link - just my opinion...

 

[Mr. Deez]

The real question to ask is which medical device company's PAC threw a bunch of cash at these guys?

Don't forget that Unions, who spent hundreds of millions getting BO elected and reelected were granted waivers to opt put of compllying with obamacare rules and regs. yes there were large companies that got waivers as well, but check out which party they donated to.

So if Dems unions and companies are exempt and now Dems Senators get the delay on this part WHO will pay for obamacare?

Will BO just take the money from his " stash"?

 

[Bayerithe]

That tax is going to rob my company of a ton of money.

The tax is abusive and selective - a standard for the Dems. Not only will this rob companies, it will cost jobs and result in less innovation by US companies.
