Paul Gigot, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page editor, told WSJ Live host and editorial board member Mary Kissel that the Heritage Foundation is misguided in their opposition to the repeal of the medical device tax within the Affordable Care Act. He identified a strain of “economic nonsense” creeping into the consciousness of the right as they become “disoriented” by the failure of the effort to defund or delay the Affordable Care Act.

The Heritage Foundation has gone on the record opposing the repeal of the medical device tax within the ACA. “Go figure,” Gigot replied when asked why this is the case.

“The political strategy is that they don’t want any changes in Obamacare that improve Obamacare because they think that it reduces the coalition – the size of the coalition for total repeal,” Gigot continues. “They’re also focused as part of this debate on defunding and delaying Obamacare, and they think that just repealing a tax like this is small beer.”

“There’s a lot of economic nonsense that is creeping into the right as they get to be so disoriented as part of this debate,” Gigot observed. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/wsjs-paul-gigot-economic-nonsense-taking-ov
