“The Medical Alley Association is pleased that Congress and the President have prioritized health consumers and Minnesota’s leading health technology economy with a two-year suspension of the medical device excise tax, retroactive to January 1, 2018. We will continue to work with Congressional leaders to ensure that health consumers can have confidence in treatment options and improved outcomes through a full repeal.

We are thankful for Minnesota’s strong leadership on this issue and the continued support provided, led by Congressman Erik Paulsen and Senator Amy Klobuchar. Their tireless efforts are greatly appreciated by health consumers and innovators.
