Bovie Medical Insights

When President Obama’s Affordable Care Act was signed into legislation on March 23, 2010, it contained language that resulted in the taxation of life-saving medical devices.  Needless to say, the medical industry was not pleased.

Generally speaking, I know better than to discuss politics or religion.  That being said, while an earlier blog had some of my suggestions for more intelligent taxation, the 2.3% excise tax on medical manufacturing is going to hurt business and jobs in the USA.  It is a bad idea!  That, you can take to the bank, or the poor house, as the case may be. How about if I add to my suggested taxing sales on the internet, with charging a penny or two to every e-mail?  Maybe that would help the post office, which once again is going to raise the price of a stamp, and at the same time curtail many of the e-mails that you didn’t want anyway.
