You'd have to pay the same tax if it was made in China. Plus the additional expense to ensure FDA compliance and transport would likely offset any measurable gains by moving production over seas.
The biggest reason the industry is against the tax is a fear for loss of profit. Some think a lot of this will be easily balanced by more people in the system consuming insurance and hence medical devices.
