The Good news: Botax is dead, The Bad News: You will be dreaming of a white Christmas

Good news for you and I: Congress has decided to remove the "Botax" from the health care reform bill this past Tuesday. I think it was me flexing a little muscle over on Capital Hill that got these clowns a little nervous, not to mention our CAMEO congregation that joined the fight.


Bad news: If you plan on getting "a fake bake" for your holiday party, get on it now. Instead of the tax on cosmetic surgery, Congress has added a 10% tax on indoor tanning. They estimate raising $2.7 billion over 10 years instead of the projected $5 billion from the cosmetic sugery tax. The American Academy of Dermatology was behind this idea to replace the prior tax. So indeed, you may be having a white Christmas after all.
