CHI Organizes Letter Opposing Troublesome Medical Device Tax
Submitted on:
09.18.2009
CHI today submitted letters to Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer addressing concerns with a proposed tax on medical device and diagnostics products currently being considered by the Senate Finance Committee as part of broader health reform legislation. According to the letter, signed by more than 75 California based companies, "The proposed tax would have a significant and unfair impact on our industry, a worldwide leader in biomedical innovation and a leading and growing employer in California, during a time of increased economic hardship in the state and nationwide. Indeed, with more medical technology companies, jobs and investment than any other state, the proposed tax will have an inequitable and disproportionately severe impact here in California."
