They will have to define "deformity" or disfiguring disease. It can be subjective...so this should be fun.
Then, they may say OK to panni, but not boobs. It will very interesting to see how the fight and figure a way to tap into this rich new resource.
God forbid they should "just say NO" to a hefty payraise or other wonderful perks they so hungrily consume!
I repeat...THE *******S!
It will be very interesting to see how all of this plays out.
Seems to me that there could be lots of "double standards" involved...
Shall I dare say it - oh, hell - why not......
What will be next??? Taxing surgeries that may be required for cancer treatments due to the fact that the patient was a smoker? I mean, after all, we do know of all the problems that can arise due to smoking, yet people still do it. I'm an ex-smoker myself, and probably would still be doing it if I felt that I could safely get away with it.....

I totally agree - the *******S!!!!!! Yep, the definition of 'disfiguring disease' is going to be key - but I think it should be considered disfiguring when you have to tuck your boobs into the top of your socks so they don't get tied up in your shoelaces!!

LOL@lizzybear! That is a really funny visual! Thanks for the chuckle!!
My guess is that procedures required for reconstruction following treatment for disease process (eg breast cancer) is going to be required.
Dunno, this doesn't look kosher to me somehow. I believe they are discussing coverage of purely cosmetic surgeries. Reconstruction following obesity is not in that category ... I often misread these things, but this doesn't look "whole" to me.
