Mullen Says NO to Indiana Jobs

Brendan Mullen’s support for ObamaCare is already causing damage for job creators in Indiana. Recently, Bloomington’s Cook Medical was set to build factories in the Hoosier State which would employee up to 300 people each but thanks to Brendan Mullen’s ObamaCare and its massive tax on medical devices, Indiana families can kiss those jobs goodbye.

In Brendan Mullen’s healthcare law is a 2.3 percent tax on sales of all medical devices. This law, and its tax increase, is already proving to be disastrous to medical device makers looking to expand like Cook Medical. So why would Brendan Mullen support this healthcare takeover which will stop job creation in Indiana?

A spokesperson for Cook Medical said this on the new massive tax from Mullen’s ObamaCare:

"This is the equivalent of about a plant a year that we’re not going to be able to build," a company spokesman told FoxNews.com.

He said the original plan was to build factories in "hard-pressed" Midwestern communities, each employing up to 300 people. But those factories cost roughly the same amount as the projected cost of the new tax.

"In reality, we’re not looking at the U.S. to build factories anymore as long as this tax is in place. We can’t, to be competitive," he said. (Fox News, 7/27/12)
