1. The Obamacare Medical Device Tax - Medical device manufacturers employ 409,000 people in 12,000 plants across the country. Obamacare imposes a new 2.3 percent excise tax on gross sales – even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year.  In addition to killing small business jobs and impacting research and development budgets, this will increase the cost of your health care – making everything from pacemakers to artificial hips more expensive.

2. The Obamacare Flex Account Tax
3. The Obamacare Surtax on Investment Income
4. The Obamacare “Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deductions
5. The Obamacare Medicare Payroll Tax Hike
