“I guess I had better get my boob job soon:)”

Well I hope this motivates you Cookie to get out there and fight Obama Care.

And to paraphrase your quote.

“I guess we had better get that boob Obama a new job soon!:)”

I hear women are now electing for plastic surgery below the belt to match the “pretty” ones they see in magazines…*rolls eyes* Really folks?

Don’t worry tho, because the governments universal healthcare plan is going to attack the boobs starting in school anyway:

“What world do you live in where only Hollywood types and people who only “really need” help get cosmetic surgery? Most people I know have had a nip here and a tuck there, and don’t even get me started on Botox and laser treatments. Cosmetic surgery is all the rage… for almost everyone. And, no, it’s none of your business if Pandora has partaken in such endeavors!”

Pandora did you actually read what I posted???? I said that some folks I talked to were ok with this due to the Hollywood connection.

I AM NOT OK WITH THIS !!! I pointed out the case of the women, none of them starlets, who would be penalized by Obama for Tummy Tucks. I believe this is a retrograde tax on working people who have to deal with the public. I do hope that Pandora and other real women will oppose this surcharge. The amount that will be added to the tax rolls are negligible but way to wide ranging to be accepted by all of us.
Again as I said earlier, if we are going to tax cosmetic surgery, lets tax everything that improves appearance. That includes Men’s clothing, hair styling, and women’s clothing, hair styling, and cosmetics.

Kidding Pandora, though it would be cool to see our friendly nemisis.

Frank I don’t think that the reconstructive surgery would be taxed under this legislation. I may be wrong but most of this type of reconstructive surgery is covered under most existing plans and is not considered “elective”. I am more than willing to hear some other views from those who have specific expertise in this area.

Yes, I took a light hearted tone on this. However, I consider the examples I gave such as the individual who had to deal with birth marks or scarring acne to be in the same vein as one who has to get reconstructive breast surgery. In the end for all of these folks, why is it the government’s business if they want to have the surgery when they are paying the freight???
