| In its haste to pass healthcare reform legislation last winter and at the urging of a wealthy special interest group, the American Academy of Dermatology, the Congress included a 10% tax on indoor tanning services in the final healthcare reform bill. This tax was not drafted by congressional staff and did not go through the normal legislative vetting process or any committee consideration. As a result, it is poorly drafted, will be extremely difficult to collect and will harm thousands of small businesses and affect millions of consumers, mostly working and middleclass women. What is next? Are these same special interests going to force the government to tax us for going to the beach and then subsidize sunscreen? Join the owners, employees and customers of the indoor tanning industry nationwide calling on Congress and the President to repeal this regressive and punitive tax. Click on these links to join our fight and send an email to your Senators and Congressman urging them to repeal this outrageous tax. |
