The medical device tax has entered the PA Senate race between Republican candidate Pat Toomey and Democrat Joe Sestak. Toomey has charged that the Obama administration's healthcare bill poses a threat to high-tech medical manufacturers through its imposition of a 2.3 percent tax on medical device sales. "These companies work day in and day out to develop life-saving technology that increases the quality of life for millions of Americans," Toomey said at a recent campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "But once again, Joe Sestak falls back on his liberal instincts and votes for billions in higher taxes." Report | News
