Tanning Tax?

Though I had a topic in mind for tonight, I do not have the time to submit anything substantive so I will simply make an observation.

I was reading over one of a gazillion news stories that are addressing health care reform looking for the pieces that are going to affect prevention - when I saw this... and I am paraphrasing -

Expect new taxes or fees to hit a number of industries - including tanning.

Really? Tanning?? That is AWESOME - maybe the businesses will have to fold up shop and we will save on health care costs related to treating skin cancer caused by the lamps.

Think I am exagerating? Click here to learn more about skin cancer from UV radiation - which comes both from the sun and the lights used in tanning beds.
