I have concerns about the Healthcare Law. Will it cause negative reprocussions to my well being? How do the benefits outweigh the cons?

These procedures are already high cost compared to other countries.
Is this TAX “really” going to help the United States as a whole? 5% here. 5% there, and after awhile it adds up.The consumer will have to find a way not only pay the tax but also pay for the procedure. These little taxes seem like nothing until one day there will be a tax on everything. I am from Brazil and this socialist country has 60% tax on FOOD! And our FREE health care in Brazil is terrible. We pay R$1,200 in car registration per year..People in Brazil buy a car and can’t aford the road tax, car tax, registration, etc.

Dude..you Americans need to wake up…

I don’t believe these elective procedures should endure a luxury tax. Yes they are elective but also they are a service, and often a quite personal choice. The government shouldn’t charge tax. Next thing we know, they’ll be taxing haircuts and manicures.

Yes ! These proceedures should have a luxury tax on them to help all of us out ! These are not expenditures undertaken by a hungry person !!

This should be titled the Kerry/Pelosi amendment. When they smile the contorians in their face tells the whole story.
