First, IMO this charge will grow over time. Who thinks it will be static and remain at 1%? This is the proverbial slippery slope.
Second, Obamacare is increasing medical care and device costs, raising premiums for many people (including my own sons), damanging the economy through reduced employment, and is causing doctors to retire (mine already did). I think that we need to do whatever we can, regardless of how small, to resist the onslaught of new charges, fees or taxes. Whatever you want to call them. To do otherwise is to be passive in the face of ever expanding government control.
