Orrin Hatch actually said...

"Mr. Chairman, we are very grateful for your leadership and ongoing efforts to repeal the medical device excise tax."

"I truly appreciate his leadership along with Senators Burr, Portman, Coats, Crapo, Isakson, and Scott who have been key to building support on this."

"The country needs your leadership to once and for all repeal this medical device excise tax before it is too late."

"But before this happens Congress can act to repeal this onerous excise tax."
