As House Republicans push forward with a measure to repeal the impending 2.3% medical device levy, Cook Group chairman Stephen Ferguson warns that U.S. patients and workers have the most to lose should the tax be allowed to take effect in 2013.
"You know, Cook can survive anything," Ferguson told MassDevice. "We can deal with these issues, but the people who are manufacturing the devices and the patients who are looking at access to the latest technology, I think, are the 2 groups who will be the most impacted by this."
