Healthcare Reform hits home!

As many of you know I work for a medical device company - BBraun Medical. As congressional leaders continue to reach for anything that might gain traction in the health care debate - they are now considering a tax on medical manufacturing companies to the tune of $40 Billion. OK this makes a lot of sense...lets tax the evil capitalist medical device companies because they are rich and can afford it. Guess what folks, even if this is the case(and it's NOT), what do we all know will happen when companies are faced with increased cost? They raise their prices! This idiotic idea that taxing health care companies will somehow reduce the cost of medicine is classic liberal mentality to "tax the rich" and "spread the wealth". Ultimately it leads to higher costs and a system more broken than before.
