Good news: tanning is addictive!

April 19, 2010

Headline: Can you become addicted to tanning beds?

Answer: yes!

“From a public health perspective, the findings suggest that there may be a subgroup of individuals who are addicted to indoor tanning and have an underlying mood disturbance,” (University of New York researcher Catherine) Mosher said.

Which means that tanning is a highly inelastic good, which means that ObamaCare’s 10% tax won’t affect consumption, which means that ObamaCare can be paid for!

And then, when they get skin cancer, they’re covered!

Unless all the people paying for the tanning time lose their jobs, that is. But never mind that now: this is a positive blog post.
