Cool cook medical has canceled plans to build one new US facility annually and each of the next several years number plans to lay off 450 workers -- -- expects the -- 200. Striker based in Michigan anticipates having to lay off 1000 workers. Production is moving overseas good jobs are going to Europe and Asia and cutting edge medical devices will now be produced elsewhere for imported into the US. Mean they -- they had no idea you know you know. Tupelo she says we have to pass the bill to read it even if they even if they had read it before they still -- past that they don't care about the don't care about all these people lose their jobs. Thanks for a call 18774694322. This is that the two point did it -- it puts on is it. Rich to say mentioned this briefly last night the 2.3 packs percent tax will be charge to manufacturers on each sale. It takes effect in January. Many US device companies medical device companies and response authority announced layoffs canceled plans for domestic its expansion and slash research and development budget. This month Welch -- maker of -- the Scopes of blood pressure cops announced they will lay off 10% of their global workforce over the next three years. All of the jobs being cut. Or in the US the medical device industry has been a great American success story. More than 400000 US workers are employed in the sector directly in another two million including those involved and supply. And distribution benefit indirectly average compensation 58188. Dollars compared when national average of 41000. 673. Last year the US vice industries are earned five point four billion more and exports and we spend on imports of such devices. Even more important is the industry's role -- saving and sustaining life. And and again remember the medical device industry is largely based in in BM the Merrimack valley of Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Medical devices have been contributed to remarkable advances in numerous areas artificial hips and -- Devices used in the treatment of cancer and for angioplasty vascular surgery and in vitro fertilization to name a few. But 2.3 percent tax on medical sales devices come straight out of a company's bottom line they hit it will be severe. For a typical company 2.3 percent tax on revenues equal to 15% tax on profits. When combined with a 35%. Corporate tax and state corporate taxes the tax rate for the medical device industry will exceed 50% and most jurisdictions. Many marginally profitable businesses world and hemorrhage red ink since they'll have to pay the excise tax where they're making money or not. Peres hopes says Evan Bayh Democrat. The house 233. Dem Republicans joined by 37 Democrats voted in June to repeal tax. Only 37 Democrats cared about it in this industry being 88 bear re. Good American industry providing good jobs at good wages and saving people's lives only 37 Democrats care about. Yeah repealing the tax in the senate it's even worse 33 Republicans are on record in support of doing the same. No Democrat has stepped up to cosponsor of legislation no Democrat has stepped up to cosponsor of legislation. But several speaks favorably -- play favorites. The great they speak of pride and yet we don't. I -- I can't -- the president Harry Reid. Gee I think it's terrible what they're doing to the medical device industry. We're Jeanne Shaheen. -- John Kerry. These are people in the in the states that are that are going to be. Directly affected immediately by this. They have not they have nothing to say. Even granny Warren has switched their position is in favor repealing it but she's -- -- us pat your next -- -- -- go ahead pat. You have more people in your state better effect about debt and make sure -- support met and they got to support. Brown too because I think it's ridiculous -- -- -- -- -- Exactly and you don't hear is that I think it's as -- -- the company with the revenues -- is -- operate and a margin of eight per cent which. Some of them do -- -- -- -- -- that even some real or well it's it's 8% and you ticket 2% tax under that at that point 5% to -- out of their pocket it's. Our sales on profit that's what -- say avidly and I Evan -- repeated again this morning you know. Yeah it's like being there it's like you're technology makes fifty grand a year. And it's like being taxed on the fit decrypt before your mortgage interest reduction before to ensure that seniors out all that that's what that's like. And it's gonna come right out and jobs in the state. And you know just go official army economically literate people we have the senate 33 Republicans arrest number -- in the bag if it's Democratic Party or -- about regular. Financially literate you know -- like -- a teenager and he doesn't get the stopper he just doesn't care what the other but.

I would make missiles security bill that retire fifty quarters instead of forty -- change your -- In Goodell did that and that's an excellent start. I mean you could endure he couldn't do what to the people were currently in the system which would make it out from now on fifty quarters yeah. Exactly it's an apple at all and it -- that's that's very reasonable and I think it would take care of the problem right there are so they would be means test and everybody got people short.
