Bringing in more money than oil

Texas is working on passing a tax on cosmetic surgery. Currently, NJ is the only other state with such a tax, but TX is a major plastic surgery state, joining CA, FL, &NY. Basically, lawmakers are saying this is going to add money to the TX budget, but in reality I think it's going to drive patients out of TX. Let's see, if I'm going to spend a couple thousand extra would I rather it go to tax or a trip to FL for my surgery. Hmmm... palm trees or government pockets, tough call. Maybe when I go under the knife (and yes, I fully intend to if I can afford it), I'll fly out to Cori's, kill 2 birds with one stone. Just a thought...
