Looks to me like the only thing they were holding out for was a repeal of the medical device tax. While that is a job killer and those costs are eventually passed along, its most direct beneficiary will be the manufacturers. Got to keep those campaign coffers full, you know. We've been sold out.
Somebody needs to remind them that giving up on the sequester cuts is overturning the "law of the land."

I no of no outrage of the "medical device tax" and no one in the nation was talking about it - at all. Then, it suddenly became "The Cause" for politicians in Washington DC.
People were concerned that their medical insurance was quadrupling and they were being shut out of care because ObamaCare was "giving it away for free" to a a selected minority and everyone has to pay for the deadbeats. No one was concerned about that tax except lobbyists.
