Will the medical device tax ever be repealed?

After almost a year of speculation, one news organization finally nailed down a possible timetable for when it might happen.

The National Journal is reporting that the Senate will try to repeal the medical device tax by the end of the calendar year, citing both a Republican and Democratic aide.

In June the House passed a repeal measure, and although the Senate measure is not exactly the same, movement is starting to happen.

One spokesman told the news outlet that although a vote "has not been scheduled yet, "but it's something we'd like to get done, of course.""

But, is this another round of "here we go again?" Ever since Republicans took control of Congress, there has been a push to repeal the tax, but nothing has really happened.
