Another Day Of Senate Bribery

In 2009, when Congress wrote the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), it laid a 2.9% tax on medical devices to help cover the cost of care to the uninsured.  Now the device industry is moving slowly but steadily to repeal that tax.  The ways they seem to be prevailing, massive contributions to campaign chests, sponsored junkets to visit plants and conferences, are just the sort of bribery the American Anti-Corruption Act forbids.  This is an editorial from the New York Times.  You are invited to visit the websites www.represent.us and www.anticorruptionact.org to learn more about this legislation that will prevent such  bribery and will restore government to the people.
