Dear Majority Leader Reid, Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Pelosi:

As Congress nears the end of the calendar year, we respectfully request that repeal of the medical device excise tax be addressed as a top priority. Implementation of what was to be a $20 billion excise tax -- and is now estimated to collect over $30 billion in taxes -- is adversely impacting patient care and innovation, and will substantially increase the costs of health care. The Senate and House have both passed repeal legislation with strong bipartisan majorities. On behalf of the more than 975 undersigned organizations, associations, companies, patients, providers and venture capital firms representing hundreds of thousands medical technology jobs, we ask that you act to repeal the medical device tax during this session of Congress.

As you know, the medical device industry is a unique American success story -- both for patients and our economy. The United States is the world leader in manufacturing life-saving and life-enhancing treatments, and the industry is an important engine for economic growth. The industry employs more than 400,000 workers nationwide; generates approximately S25 billion in payroll; pays out salaries that are 40 percent more than the national average ($58,000 vs. $42,000); and invests nearly $10 billion in research and development (R&D) annually. The industry is fueled by innovative companies, the majority of which are small businesses with 80 percent of companies having fewer than 50 employees and 98 percent with fewer than 500 employees.

Unfortunately, the health care law imposes over $30 billion in new excise taxes on medical technology companies that are stifling innovation and U.S. competitiveness. The tax is already having an adverse impact on R&D investment and job creation, jeopardizing the U.S. global leadership position in medical device innovation. If this tax is not repealed, it will continue to force affected companies to cut manufacturing operations, research and development, and employment levels to recoup the lost earnings due to the tax. It will also adversely impact patient access to new and innovative medical technologies.

In short, this tax on innovation should be repealed for the following three important reasons:

  • The tax stifles innovation and has already costs thousands of high-paying jobs. It has increased the effective tax rate for medical technology companies, thereby reducing financial resources that should be used for R&D, clinical trials and investments in manufacturing. The impact is especially hard on smaller companies whose innovations are not immediately profitable.

  • The tax will increase health care costs as confirmed by a report issued in April 2010 by the Office of the Actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In some cases, the 2.3% tax will be passed on to consumers, leading to higher health care costs.

  • The tax is not being offset by increased demand for medical devices. In fact, it is important to note that there is no evidence suggesting a device industry "windfall" from healthcare reform. Unlike other industries that may benefit from expanded coverage, the majority of device-intensive medical procedures are performed on patients that are older and already have private insurance or Medicare coverage. Where states have dramatically extended health coverage, such as in Massachusetts where they added 400,000 new covered lives, there is no evidence of a device "windfall."

 

At a time when the federal government is working to promote investment in U.S. industries of the future, it is inconsistent that a tax of this magnitude is placed on the medical device industry. We must do all we can to encourage and promote research, development, investment and innovation. Instead, increased taxes, such as this one on the medical device industry, coupled with the increased regulatory uncertainty the industry also faces, is leading to further job losses, hindering the development of breakthrough treatments and delaying patient access to medical technology.

We respectfully request timely action on legislation to repeal this over $30 billion excise tax.
