Device lobby "doubles down" on medical device tax repeal-massdevice: MASSDEVICE ON CALL — Medical device lobbying group AdvaMed unveiled its 2013 agenda, highlighting its efforts to "double down" on efforts to repeal the 2.3% medical device tax that took effect at the start of the year. "This issue is critically important to companies large and small that already are living with the real-world harmful impact this tax is having – including layoffs, cuts in R&D and delayed expansion plans," AdvaMed president & CEO Stephen Ubl said in prepared remarks.
