Opposition to Proposed Cosmetic Surgery Tax
At the request of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Robert H. Ivy Society signed on to a letter opposing Sec. 9017, Excise Tax on Elective Cosmetic Medical Procedures in the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”, the Senate’s health reform package. Due to the efforts of many, the proposed tax on cosmetic surgery has been replaced by a proposed 10% tax on tanning salon sessions.
