For all my tanning friends, a 10% tax. 1200 page bill, everybody’s gonna pay for it.
I wonder how many other ‘Health Care Reform’ nuggets are going to come to light?
I promise I’m not laughing(that loud)
Vanity tax to help fund health-care overhaul could jack up prices at tanning salons this summer

If it’ll save us from a generation of leathery girls, I’m all for it!
But really, there are taxes on liquor and cigarettes already, it’s nothing new to have a tax on things that are bad for us. It’s a weird thing to target (why not fast food?) but it’s not surprising that something like this was thrown in.
And remind me again – how much did Lee Terry contribute to the bill after he agreed to work on it? Oh wait, he’s still on the side that’s refusing to help.
It’s Funny
I think it’s funny that they put this in there. I’m against tanning anyways.
Lee Terry does not support this bill.
Neither do I.
I’ve been trying to see what amendments that everyone has offered to this bill.
You can visit this page – http://www.rules.house.gov/amendment_details.aspx?NewsID=4609 Lee Terry offered 4 amendments to this bill.
I think EVERY amendments was shot down in the Rules Committee.
