Although the U.S. House of Representatives voted Sunday to pass the health care reform bill, amendments added to the bill by the House must now be voted on by the Senate. Smart Tan is supporting the Indoor Tanning Association\u2019s efforts to lobby against The Tan Tax. Click here to send a totally new message to your U.S. Senators and Representatives urging them to remove the Tan Tax from the final bill: www.StopTheTanTax.com Get your customers and friends to send the message too. Have them do it today! The reconciliation process almost always leads to changes in a bill. According to NBC News, Republicans plan to point out all the back-room deals on the bill. The worst and most tangible back-room deal is The Tan Tax \u2014 put in the bill at midnight on a Saturday after lobbying from the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Dermatology Association and the manufacturer of Botox \u2014 which put the Tan Tax in the bill to replace a tax on Botox and elective cosmetic surgery. \u201cRepublicans hope to force major changes to the reconciliation bill, some that could set up a political nightmare scenario for Democrats. If certain unpopular provisions of the Senate\u2019s version of the bill \u2014 like special carve-out deals for individual states \u2014 are not corrected, Democrats risk being branded as supporters of back-room deals. And if Republicans manage to scuttle reconciliation language that would delay the implementation of new taxes on high-value insurance plans, union groups who were counting on the fix will be incensed. In the 22 times reconciliation that has been used, only once has the Senate bill not been changed and sent back to the House.\u201d NBC reported on its msnbc.com web site.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/2010-03-22-StopTheTanTax-copy.jpg"}
