That would be 2.3% Spence. Ava Med, a medical device industry group, concluded
43,ooo jobs would be sent overseas in response to the fee.
Obamacare is just great for our US economy.

Wait, an industry trade group who vehemently opposes the tax is predicting job loss? That's hard to believe.

Why would jobs go overseas? The tax is on sales, not just domestic goods.

Hard to believe? The President is supposed to set the example for honesty. not.
The tax is an excise tax predicted to bring in 60 billion over the next years 10 yrs.
to Obamacare.

Hope ya never need one Spence, but I'm sure a pacemaker made in China
would give you an extra sense of security.

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.

Of course, profit is the driving force to spend $ on research, hire new employees
expand the business and improve the economy.
Isn't that the basis of Capitalism,where people work hard and reap the benefits for their lot?

The Govt. also profits as the more "big bad profit" made,the more tax profit they reap.

Please tell me who "SOME" are in your second statement.

When Carney was asked about how many had signed up for Obamacare at his news conference ,he said they wouldn't have an accurate count until mid November. LOL, we can send a man to the moon but they can't get a computer count.

I think Obama should of had the honor to be the first to sign up for his own plan.

It's embarrassingly low . There is a reason they can't count, the computer system doesn't work . 600+ million and 3+ years doesn't get you what it used too
