Madam Speaker, H.R. 2207 was introduced by Mr. Kind from Wisconsin, and it has 253 bipartisan cosponsors, including myself. Since the medical device tax was imposed by the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare, folks have known that it was detrimental to innovation and to patient access to necessary devices and treatments. The 2.3 percent excise tax has been suspended twice because we know it is bad policy. So what are we waiting for? Madam Speaker, we should be bringing legislation to this floor that showcases how we can work together. The American people need to see us united on issues as important as this. We need to stand together when opportunities like these arise to better the lives and truly help all of our constituencies. H.R. 2207 does just that. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Indiana (Mrs. Walorski).
