Cosmetic Surgery Tax

If you have ever considered getting cosmetic surgery, including botox, you may soon be paying an extra 5% percent tax.

It's a proposal in the new health reform bill currently being debated in congress.

Many cosmetic surgeons across the country are outraged.

They say it unfairly targets women and could lead to "black market” surgery and treatments if the tax pushes costs up.

Dr. Sylvan Bartlett says, “Where do you draw the line? Dentists for veneers? Beauty shops? Kids braces? Are they going to start taxing you for that?”
