A Fix for Obamacare: Push the Luxury Angle of High Prices?

Hey, you’d pay extra for a luxury brand, right? That would make you feel like you’re stylin’, right? So then why doesn’t everyone want to pay double for their healthcare premiums? I think the problem is that they’re not named properly as luxury brands to justify the higher prices. So how about this for an idea:

Calvin Klein Plan

Chanel Plan

Prada Pan

Harry Winston Plan

Tiffany’s Plan

Or, how about naming the expensive plans after famous rich entrepreneurs and investment companies, like:

Diddy Plan

Ralph Lauren Plan

Trump Plaza Plan

Berkshire Hathaway Plan

Goldman Sachs Plan

Oh, but he started this whole thing talking about Cadillac plans, so how about using luxury car brands, and since the new plans are supposed to be better than the previous plans, start above Cadillac, so:

Mercedes Plan

Porsche Plan

Maserati Plan

Ferrari Plan

Bugatti Plan

Then they could say we’re not only stylin’, but we’re living the high life with a luxurious couture health plan that’s twice as expensive because it’s a luxury brand!

Now, admittedly, this is just a joke. But we’re already willing to pay double for the same clothes if they’re sporting a luxury brand, so why not do the same with healthcare? All the president would have to do is offer tax breaks to luxury brand companies who donated their names to the Obamacare health plans to help justify their obscenely high prices, and then we’d all willingly get tricked into paying double for the same coverage! Right?
