Hudson Votes to Repeal Obamacare Tax
 
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) voted to repeal Obamacare’s onerous medical device tax:
 
“Today’s legislation is a small step in the right direction away from Obamacare and towards a health care system where everyone can get affordable coverage without destroying jobs, hamstringing innovation and raising the cost of life-saving products. Obamacare is a disastrous law, and I will continue to fight to repeal it and protect North Carolinians from its shortcomings while advancing patient-centered reforms.”
 
The Protect Medical Innovation Act of 2015 (H.R. 160), will roll back Obamacare’s 2.3 percent federal excise tax on manufacturers of medical devices, from high-tech equipment like MRI machines to pace makers, insulin pumps, artificial joints, and nearly everything in between. This harmful tax threatens thousands of good-paying jobs, discourages innovation and shifts costs onto consumers. To learn more, click here.
