Medical Device Preemption on Stage With Congressional Bill Introduction

As reported by AP today - 
Waxman and Pallone reintroduce their bill to overturn medical device preemption today.

Supporters of preemption claim that without preemption it will -

produce a chilling effect on medical innovation, create more lawsuits and ultimately result in higher health care costs for all Americans.

Those against preemption claim that the decision to impliment preemption -

ignored decades of precedent, in which lawsuits brought by patients in state courts helped bolster safety regulation at the federal level.
