The Botox-Blue Cross Conumdrum Private wrinkle profiteering Who doesn't love their Botox? Who minds a little pain? The needle jabs, the nausea Without some pain, no gain. Why stay wrinkled like a raisin? You can be a prune. Not as it was in the box, but after it's been stewn. Side effects? Rarely fatal unless you overdose Trying to be wrinkle free when viewed from way up close. Droopy eyes like Peter Lorre's? Relatively rare, As is the guarantee you'll look half as good as Cher. The bigger risk is health insurer underwriter fears That anything that Botox hides later reappears That pre-existing situations or weird off-label use That Allergen points doctors to could lead to its abuse. And strong Blue Cross suspicions and underwriter "Holy Smokes! This could could be expensive!" Guess whose plan Blue Cross revokes?
