boo, the contest is over and you only find out after completing the hunt. The update should have been in the blog post that announced the hunt.

well, sure, elective is how it begins. And then, a little expansion here, there, it becomes all cosmetic surgery, including reconstructive.

That's government for you, butting in where it has no authority to do so, taxing what moves until it stops, funding that which has stopped.

Another possible outcome is that the tax diminishes the number of surgeries performed, so the expected fundraise is lower than predicted, causing Congress to increase the tax more, diminishing the surgeries undertaken again.
