New MA Senator open to medical device repeal, with provisions

by Jeffrey Clark on February 23, 2013

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants to talk to the medical device industry about its latest bid to roll back the 2.3% medical device tax.  seeking an acceptable pay-for to replace the revenue that would be lost with its repeal.

Warren wants to help but is leery of putting her support behind a tax repeal effort that is not offset by measures to make up for that lost revenue.

“I want to talk to the industry so they understand my basic position, and that is we should never increase taxes on the manufacturing that we’re trying to develop in this country,” she said in an exclusive interview with MassDevice.com. “So I’m very much there, but I want to talk to the industry about it.”
