    Kind of ridiculous if you axe me. I work in the industry and its already down considerably, way to slow it down further. Such a random and arbitrary thing..sure its elective surgery, but there is no good justification to levy such a tax.

    I can't believe Nancy Pelosi would ever sign such a bill.

    BTW, that tax is 40%. It would put plastic surgery out of business, which is probably the point. Those reconstructive surgeons would then be reintegrated into the public health care sphere where the Left believes they belong.

    40%? It seems to say 5%. What am I missing?

    This is just going to encourage "underground" botox parties.

    The imagery from your post makes me laugh. A bunch of flappy old women getting together to talk tupperware and inject each other.

    they do happen. there are a lot of scams with underground botox parties...i think they were even using ketamine and other shit too. a few years ago, dude was also injecting silicone into people's faces.

    If anything, it will just encourage medical tourism.
