I can understand how Evan Bayh feels as his state of Indiana is going to be hit especially hard.

Consider:

Cook Medical has canceled plans to build one new U.S. facility annually in each of the next several years

Zimmer plans to lay off 450 workers,

Hill-Rom expects to lay off 200.

Stryker, based in Michigan, anticipates having to lay off 1,000 workers.

Evan finally figured out something ~ among the states Indiana is one of the 5 major manufacturers and providers of medical technology ~ that's all out of proportion to its population so any hit on med technology carries with it a double whammy to Indiana manufacturers, researchers and workers.

It's worth noting that when it comes to direct delivery of medical services to individuals, Indiana is the top MIdwestern state ~ it's surrounded by other states without effective liability caps. If you're a baby you get born in Vincinnes or maybe Gary ~ or, I guess, you don't get born at all if momma' lives in Illinois (there are exceptions, but for the broad masses not all those exceptions are available)>

Yet Evan Bayh provided the critical vote to pass this tax into law. He could have blocked it.
