ObamaCare Tax: Health Clubs Exempt from Tanning Tax

Rapid City Journal reports on the unfairness of the ObamaCare tanning tax:
As tanning salons will see a change July 1, "qualified" fitness facilities that offer tanning services will not have to charge the additional 10 percent tax.

The IRS explains that tanning services in these facilities are "incidental" and it is difficult to separate out the cost of the tanning service from other services at the fitness center, so the tax is not imposed.
We wonder who got bribed on this one. The concept of "equal protection under the law" wasn't absorbed by Barack Obama.
