You're free to come up with your own index with your own basket. The BLS publishes inflation indices at a very granular level, so you don't even need to reverse engineer their data. For maximum shock factor, may I suggest a basket overweighted towards medical care, college tuition, and healthcare[1]?

I wondered why you had medical care and healthcare, they seemed redundant, but good on BLS for separating hospital costs and medical costs. That truly is granular.
