Appearing in Forbes, Americans for Tax Reform’s Ryan Ellis notes how Obamacare will actually hurt many of those it purports to help, especially our wounded veterans, “The health care overhaul… signed into law by President Obama earlier this year contains a new tax on medical devices such as prosthetic limbs, pacemakers and wheelchairs… Senate Democrats specifically refused to exempt veterans from the tax.”
