"Obama taxes pacemakers, heart valves"
Do you need to be reminded that your elected representatives are voting FOR things like this?...
This is from Dick Morris and Eileen McGann on theHill.com blog:
"The more the fiscal details of the healthcare bills emerge, the more appalling they seem. The Senate Finance Committee bill includes a broad provision taxing all manner of medical devices. This tax includes such frivolous luxuries as pacemakers, stents, artificial heart valves, defibrillators, automated wheelchairs, mechanized artificial limbs, replacement hips and knees, surgical gurneys, laparoscopic equipment and the like.
President Obama is planning to reduce the cost of medical care by taxing it!"
