What this tax WILL do, is to SUPPRESS the use of and application of these devices and procedures. Therefore, the distribution of these devices will be greatly curtailed, the expected revenue will fall far short, and any future innovation will not be undertaken, as the costs are too great for recovery on investment.
We shall be back to the application of rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. Aspirin and Tylenol will be outlawed, can’t be using these NSAID’s, you know. Too many complications.
And maybe we shall come to rely on acupuncture or hex-doctor chants as approved therapy.
