New York City, New York -- (May 17, 2013)

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is the biggest overhaul of the healthcare industry in decades, has generally been welcomed by the healthcare industry. The industry believes that the increase in the number of insured individuals due to the ACA will ultimately benefit it. However, medical appliances & equipment makers have been the most vocal critics of the reform. This is because medical appliances & equipment are required to pay a 2.3% tax on gross U.S. sales of medical devices. The industry believes that this will result in higher costs and hurt innovation. On Thursday, shares of medical appliances & equipment companies ended mostly lower, tracking losses in the broad market. Among the major movers in the sector were St. Jude Medical Inc. (NYSE: STJ), Hologic Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX), Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Inc. (AMEX: NAVB), Edwards Lifesciences Corp. (NYSE: EW), and ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD).
