Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.) filed a new bill aimed at repealing the 2.3% medical device excise tax today, following up on his commitment to do away with the levy.
Paulsen, along with Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.) introduced H.R. 523, the Protect Medical Innovation Act, in the U.S. House of Representatives, along with a group of 175 co-sponsors. A companion bill is expected to be introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).
