In a new “wrinkle”, the Senate health-reform legislation aims to tax people who get elective cosmetic medical procedures. The 5% tax is expected to raise an estimated $5.8 billion over 10 years to help pay for the newly proposed $849 billion heath care plan. The cosmetic surgery industry responded by calling the tax discriminatory against women, who are the big customers for cosmetic procedures.

ohhh goodness.
I just have my doubts that America can afford all of this. Even if they tax our breast implants, it still won’t be enough to overhaul our country’s healthcare system. I would love it, but I am worried that China will stop buying our debt???
Thanks for sharing, but I have two observations.
One is the misspelling of ‘suergery’ (I think it’s supposed to be ‘surgery’, but I have been wrong before).
Two, we’ll see if the bill actually passes in the Senate. While I’m all about ‘the public health’ option, a plastic surgery tax is kind of a bummer. Plus I think more energy needs to be put into dealing with fraud within the federal health plans/welfare that already exist (e.g. Medicaid and Medicare) and not taxing people in other areas to try to make up for lost money in those programs.
Tax Tax and more Tax,does anyone remember the Boston tea party…..Next thing we know we are going to be taxed on the air we breath…..
Please spare me the tea bagging references. I see no difference in this tax than the tax on cigarettes. If you don’t wish to pay it, quit smoking. After all, no one HAS TO smoke. By the same token, no one HAS TO have big breasts.
For a $6000 surgery, this would amount to $300. So, this would keep you from getting breast implants? I think not.
The only issue I have with this tax is that, if the surgery in non elective, such as a cleft palate or a burn victim.
Michael,
How about ya lay off of Lisa. She has a valid point you know. “Sin” taxes suck. How about getting government OUT of our pockets instead of just shifting the pockets they get into the deepest.
Funny how the nut and granola types are all over sin taxes till they tax tofu.
As Dennis Miller says, “That’s just my opinion and hey, I could be wrong!”
Well, Preston, all taxes suck. I happen to be a smoker, but, I don’t expect any sympathy from the non smokers, just because I CHOOSE to continue to smoke.
Just as I don’t have much sympathy for people who CHOOSE to have surgery for no medical reason. As I stated, I doubt that 5% would be a deal breaker.
And for the record, they can tax tofu and granola all they want, I don’t touch either one of those of those things. I do eat peanuts and cashews, though and that might piss me off a little.
@ Preston, you go dude!!!!!
1. I don’t want to hear ONE more ridiculous suggestion from ANY legislative body until I see their salaries and living spaces publicized on national TV and someone asks about the elephant in the room: Mr. Senator, how much do YOU make, and by how much does that increase each year, regardless of our state/country’s financial situation?
2. Wow, I got a little worked up there and almost forgot. Hells YES this is discriminatory against women, and you must either be a woman or have the ability to think critically to recognize this. If neither of these applies (especially the second), then you don’t think this is discriminatory against women. ‘Nuff said.
