Medical device tax: White House doesn't support repeal, Sebelius says-massdevice: The White House will not support repeal of the medical device tax, Dept. of Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said during a House hearing this week. House Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) asked Sebelius why the Obama administration continues to oppose repeal of the medtech tax despite "overwhelming support" from Congress. He cited the Senate's bipartisan, non-binding 79-20 vote to repeal the medical device tax as well as last year's House vote as evidence of Congress' willingness to strike the levy.
