Lies, Lies, Lies.

Tom Coburn is a lying sack of shit.

As Republican lies on health care go, this one's pretty despicable.
For one thing, Coburn doesn't understand what the Preventive Services Task Force said -- the mammogram recommendation had to do with research-based standards, not cost.

More important, though, the legislation's provision on a 5% tax on elective cosmetic surgery clearly excludes procedures for those with congenital abnormalities, disfiguring diseases, or traumatic injuries. Anyone requiring reconstructive surgery resulting from accidents or diseases would be exempt.

There is no "5% tax on the breast reconstruction surgery after they had a mastectomy." Coburn's making it up, hoping no one notices how offensive his lying really is.

There is no depth to which the Republican party will not stoop in defense of their corporate brethren in the parasitic health insurance industry.
