To our medical device membership:
Good evening and Happy New Year!
I am pleased to report that the legislative effort to fully repeal the Medical Device Tax has commenced. A bill titled “Protect Medical Innovation Act” was introduced today and has well over 200 co-sponsors, both Republican and Democratic. Introduced by Representatives Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.) and Ron Kind (D-Wis.) this is one of the first bills to begin the legislative process in the 115th Congress.
The repeal of the Medical Device Tax is a priority issue for Life Sciences Pennsylvania in 2017, as it has been since the passage of the ACA.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Best,
Craig Lincoln Tucker
