Nice timing on your VISX sale and re-purchase. Looks like it could have further downside this month due to tax-loss selling, though.

>>Insurance won't typically cover any of the costs associated with elective eye correction, so you typically have to pay the entire cost yourself.<

True in most cases, but some medical conditions are probably covered.

>>You can however enroll in a Heath Care reimbursement account and use pre-tax dollars to pay for the costs.<<

Hadn't thought about this. Will it cover any elective surgery, such as plastic surgery?
