Patient Leaders Visited Capitol Hill to Urge Lawmakers to #RepealDeviceTax

Last week, patient leaders from across the country joined Right Scan Right Time for a Capitol Hill fly-in! These delegates came from eleven different states and met with dozens of lawmakers about the need to repeal the medical device tax before it goes back into effect at the end of the year.

Patient leaders emphasized how a permanent repeal would improve patient health, propel new advancements in medical imaging technology and promote American innovation.

While opportunities to meet with lawmakers in-person are invaluable, there are also ways you can help to support our efforts from home! CLICK HERE to send an email to your lawmakers urging them to permanently repeal the medical device tax this year.
