Has Obamacare Delivered a Gold Rush for Medical Devices?

Hosted by
Medical Device makers are complaining about Obamacare but Stuart Karten says the ACA is heralding a golden era for the design of health care products.

Makers of “medical devices” have attacked Obamacare because they don’t like the tax it imposes. Not Stuart Karten. The LA-based designer of stylish hearing aids, handheld ECG monitors and health data-gathering sensors says this is a golden era for medical device design. Later in the show, Lisa Napoli and Hunter Drohojowska-Philp discuss LACMA’s new Alexander Calder show and why designers and architects love his work.
