Reid: No Obamacare Amendments on Tax Cut Bill

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has no interest in debating a repeal of the medical device excise tax as part of any negotiations to revive a stalled tax cut bill.

“That’s an Obamacare amendment. We’re not going to do that. [Republicans] can have as many amendments as practical to change the bill that’s on the floor, and there’s plenty of amendments that need to be offered on that. We have a lot on our side,” the Nevada Democrat said. “So, the answer is ‘no’.”
