Medtech tax: Scott Brown's back on the attack | MassDevice.com On Call

Medtech tax: Scott Brown's back on the attack-massdevice: MASSDEVICE ON CALL — Returning senate hopeful Scott Brown (R-N.H.) renewed his once-fervent call for repeal of the medical device tax, telling reporters during a tour of Gamma Medica that the levy is "just a money grab to fund Obamacare." Brown this week toured imaging devices maker Gamma, where executives told him that the tax will prevent the company from hiring at least 2 new workers or investing in R&D this year. Brown, a former Massachusetts senator who announced his bid for New Hampshire earlier this month, called the tax "a job killer."
