Since hospitals have been charged higher prices on imaging equipment since the tax was first announced – all under the pretense of having to cover the cost of the tax – I am looking forward to seeing the cost of the equipment going to pre-tax levels and the taxes that the manufacturers never paid refunded to the hospitals. I am sure MITA was referring to their customer (the hospitals) when they said, “The five-year suspension is a step in the right direction for stimulating economic growth, encouraging medical innovation and improving patient care.”

It has never been clearer that a tax on me is a wretched outrage while a tax on you is a necessary source of government funding. And there still is this thing called the deficit.
