Medical device tax: Sen. Hagan still searching for a pay-for to foster repeal

December 7, 2012 by MassDevice staff

Senator Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) is looking for a "fiscally responsible" way to repeal the medical device tax and spare her state's medtech companies, aiming for a viable pay-for to make up for the $30 billion the 2.3% tax is expected to raise over 10 years.

In an email interview with MassDevice.com, Hagan told us that she's having conversations with business leaders in her state to brainstorm ideas on how to replace the funding for healthcare reform in a manner that leaves medtech resources intact.
