Proxmire Rejects Medical Deduction For Hair Transplant
Sen William Proxmire said his hair transplant was not medically necessary and decided not to claim the $2758 cost as a medical expense on his tax return. He expects about $1000 extra in taxes and notes the procedure may have aided his career but cannot be justified as a medical deduction. His 1972 return already listed the cost in the Congressional Record, with a net worth around $182000 and assets including Treasury and municipal bonds.
