Device firms in Tennessee, Georgia oppose device tax
A provision in the House health reform bill that would impose a $20 billion tax on medical device firms over a decade is drawing criticism from manufacturers and vendors in Tennessee and Georgia because they say the proposal would still result in job cuts and a reduction in research spending. "It's bad news in Georgia and Tennessee, as we're trying to catch up and develop a medical device industry along the lines of some of the other states," said Rick Haury, the Southeastern Medical Device Association's founder.
