As your constituent, it’s important to me that you cosponsor legislation to repeal the medical device tax (H.R. 184/S. 108).
The device tax threatens the quality of life for many in your community and across the country.
Advances in medical imaging have played a critical role in the fight against cancer, improving the way doctors detect, diagnose, monitor and treat this deadly disease. Today, countless lives are saved thanks to early detection through advanced imaging.
The two-year suspension of the device tax has allowed companies to reinvest the savings into a number of research and development projects that lead to the introduction of new, advanced medical technologies that so many patients rely on to stay alive.
As a dedicated member of your community, I urge you to work with national leaders to help fully repeal the medical device tax so that patients can continue to access the most advanced medical imaging technology.
With an aging population, people with disabilities living longer lives and chronic disease rates growing, a tax that hinders medical progress doesn’t make sense.
More than ever before, it’s time to increase investment in innovation that benefits patients -- not reduce it.
Please support the health of your constituents by doing everything you can to repeal the medical device tax.
