Paulson who has been a leader on this issue. Weve got the 260 cosponsors on this bill. Weve got the votes to pass this. The Senate Earlier this year, during consideration of their budget resolution, in more of a symbolic vote, but on medical device tax, had a bipartisan majority come together as well to suggest we should get rid of this tax. For all the controversy that dominates washington today, for all the partisan bickering, for all the polarization, for all the gridlock, here we have an issue where we all agree its the right thing to do.
