Repealing 2.3% Device Tax Not On Candidate Klobuchar’s '100 Days Plan'
Executive Summary
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota has long been a strong supporter of the medical device industry and has been fighting to repeal the 2.3% medical device excise tax instituted as part of the Affordable Care Act. However, she did not include it as a priority for her administration if she is voted into office in 2020, and seems to be distancing herself from the industry.
