Cosmetic Surgery tax ?!?!

I received this from my plastic surgeon today....please sign the petition.  For us, we are not just having Reconstructive surgery just for the sake of having it done....we DESIRE it to get our 'life' back to normal.  Do NOT delay as this could happen very very soon....

I heard it was pretty sure to get passed as a luxury tax....they need to have some loop hole for reconstructive surgery in my mind....

I got that website from two of the surgeons I had consults with.  They said that it's highly likely this is going to stay in the health care bill.  They said that their main objective now is to get weight loss surgery patient plastic surgery procedures recognized as reconstructive, not cosmetic.  The physical and mental effects of the excess skin and other issues (drooping breasts, etc.) from weight loss surgery are real medical issues, not taken care of by typical cosmetic nips and tucks. They're hoping that at least if they can get it classified as "reconstructive" that those who need PS because of their massive weight loss can do so without the tax.
