Medical device taxation and New York Times misrepresentation.
In an otherwise misguided editorial condemning the Senate’s bipartisan (79-20) call to repeal the medical device tax, the New York Times writes, “One of the signers was Ms. Warren of Massachusetts ... Ms. Warren wrote that the tax stifles innovation, research and development. That’s a high-minded justification.”
Indeed it is. And she’s right.
