Alas, Senate Democrats have aimed their discussions towards another one of America's unhealthy habits. Already, taxes for unnecessary cosmetic procedures such as Botox, have worked their way into the new health care plan. Now, Senate Democrats are discussing the possibility of taxes for those wishing to artificially bronzen (or orang-en?) their skin via tanning beds at salons and the purchase of sunlamps for at-home tanning use.
