Good news for cosmetic surgeons came over the weekend; the so-called Botax has apparently been dropped from the healthcare reform bill. Others aren’t so pleased about the changes, as a possible indoor tanning tax is reportedly being considered as the latest method of financing the new plan.

Just as representatives from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery spoke out against the elective cosmetic tax, people from the Indoor Tanning Association (surely a colorful bunch) are publicly opposing this new tax. Executive director John Overstreet says their industry, which consists mostly of small businesses, has been “thrown under the bus.”

What do you think? Is this a better proposal or just as flawed as the proposed elective cosmetic tax?
