Fat Cat Obama supporter is cutting workforce in medical devices

"Stryker Corporation has announced that it will close its facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs next month. It will also counter the medical device tax in Obamacare by eliminating 5% of their global workforce, an estimated 1,170 positions. Jon Stryker was one of the top 5 donors to Obama's campaign. . .   Stryker contributed millions to help Democrat candidates in his home state of Michigan. He also gave nearly $250 million to groups supporting gay rights, transgenderism, and funds social justice projects." 

Is anyone organizing protests?

745 Euros is a lot of dollars!

But the book, either e-copy or print copy, The World Medical Markets Fact Book 2008, will answer
    - Which country spends most on medical devices in terms of per capita GDP?
    - Which medical markets are growing the fastest?
    - How does the Brazilian market compare with Mexico and Argentina in terms of total health expenditure?
    - What demographic development is affecting the market in Latvia and Estonia?
    - What will the per capita spend on medical devices be in 2013 in South Korea and Thailand?
And it's already a year out of date (published May 2008). I guess information really doesn't want to be free. At least not if there is medical grant money going to libraries and research companies. Maybe some of the stimulus money?
