Last month’s online poll asked Medical Edge and Medical Design readers how they feel about the proposed bill calling for medical device makers to collectively pay $4 billion in annual fees (based on market share) for 10 years to help pay for healthcare reform. The results show significant opposition with 62% against; 24% for; and 13% undecided.
