(Via http://www.mediamatters.org ) On November 19, 2009, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) falsely claimed the Senate Democratic health care reform bill would tax post-mastectomy breast reconstruction surgery. In reality, the bill specifically exempts cosmetic surgery "necessary to ameliorate a deformity arising from, or directly related to, a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or disfiguring disease."

THIS IS A LIE, the tax is only on elective surgery like Carrie Prejean's breast inplants, not reconstructive surgery like a cancer survivor. THIS GUYS LIES WITH IMPUNITY Check his record, this guy helped John Ensign cover up his affair with a staffer.... Coburn is an evil scumbag.

He's against the "boob tax" cause it would limit the number of whores that he and his fellow GOP favor. "we like 'em big here in Oklahoma" he was heard saying to John Ensign, the senator having an affair with his staffer. The tax would be for elective surgery like Carrie Prejean's breast implants, not reconstructive surgery for say a cancer survivor. THIS GUY LIES WITH IMPUNITY

Are you going to trust the words coming out of the mouth of a man who is standing in the way of our injured soldiers getting the help they need? Coburn needs to be voted out of office. The guy is a royal douche bag.

Reconstructive plastic surgery is usually performed to improve function, but it may be done to approximate a normal appearance.
So they can take our tax money to define gods but they don't allow people to use for Reconstructive surgery for health and injury.
