I was a journalism major, not a math major, but I think that leaves 1,200 apps in a state of regulatory uncertainty, roughly.

So is it accurate to say that Obamacare is driving this sort of medical technology and innovation to other countries because of this tax?

why would we treat mobile applications the same as a dialysis machine?

the specter of costly and time-consuming regulation, to say nothing of a 2.3 percent excise tax, looms large over this industry

the fact that we are having such a hearing is a testament to the breadth of innovation using wireless smartphones and tablets
