ALERT:  Senate leaders have withdrawn the tax on cosmetic medical procedures from the health care reform bill now being considered on the Senate floor.

Thanks to all who sent messages to their Senators, signed petitions and enlisted friends in this effort.

However, it is possible that the cosmetic tax could be added back into the bill before final passage. We will keep you updated. Please stay tuned.  In the meantime, here are some other things you can do:

I hadn't heard !  Well that's good news, especialy since WLS patients stood to pay a disproportionately higher share of this tax...all for losing weight and being healthier

Did you hear that they added in a proposal for a 10% tax on tanning?  If they really have to raise revenue this way that seems more reasonable.  Of course, what happens for folks with skin issues, rashes, etc. where their dr prescribes limited exposue to tanning?
