The medical device tax repeal is simply the least controversial bargaining chip the GOP has managed to find that they can insert into this thing to save face. They have to find a way to go back home to their constituents and say they got something out of it. Damage control. I'm curious to see if the Dems are willing to sign on to the medical device tax repeal though. I'd image they will agree if the votes are actually there, but I suppose they could refuse.
Of course the Republicans never had a chance of succeeding with this maneuver to begin with. It was stupid, doomed to failure, and only served to tick a bunch of people off and make the party look bad.
