Rep. Joe Wilson Supports Repealing the Medical Device Tax

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) released the following statement of support after the House passed H.R. 184, the Protect Medical Innovation Act. This legislation will repeal the medical device excise tax that was imposed by Obamacare.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to be an original cosponsor of the Protect Medical Innovation Act. Obamacare's burdensome tax on medical devices has stifled medical advancements and destroyed jobs. Millions of Americans rely on pacemakers, artificial joints, CAT scan machines, and more for their medical care and quality of life. More taxes are not the answer to affordable healthcare options for American families."
