Democratic Primaries

(71,542 posts)from Delaware where credit card companies are headquartered...I notice that Warren voted to repeal the medical device tax because the medical device industry is headquartered in Massachusetts...you vote for your business that provide jobs in your state...
"What Warren didnt say was that her bill has a loophole in it for medical device manufacturers. Those companies, which make everything from latex gloves to Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines, would be exempt from her proposed penalties unless they also make drugs. At the same time, her bill explicitly ensures that the so-called medtech companies would benefit from the research dollars that her swear jar would generate..."Since she launched her campaign for the Senate in 2011, Warren has come out in favor several medical device industry priorities, including rewriting Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, bolstering federal research funding and making permanent certain temporary tax credits for research and development."
