Hill Votes to Repeal Failed Obamacare Provision
Statement
Issues: Taxes Health and Health Care
Today, the House passed H.R. 160, the Protect Medical Innovation Act, which repeals Obamacare's 2.3 percent excise tax on the manufacturer, producer, or importer of covered medical devices, by a vote of 280-140. Following passage of H.R. 160, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) released the following statement:
"The Medical Device Tax is yet another failed policy of Obamacare that not only stifles innovation and costs good-paying jobs, but also threatens access to live-saving and life-improving devices, on which many Americans depend. I am proud to be an original cosponsor and strongly encourage the Senate and President follow our lead and do their parts to ensure this unnecessary tax is repealed."
