Yes, and Im sure weve all seen enough twilight zones to know how that turns out
Or we can look at NYC right now, and see a mayor criminalizing the sales of large sodas. This punishes the seller, but it's inefficient and rouses public anger. Government health-care enables the government to avoid the hassle and lobbying resistance involved in banning one product at a time and directly punish taxpayers who choose to have one steak too many or one Pepsi too many. It also pits taxpayers against each other in a 'if A is being penalized, B should be penalized too' contest which ends up with more and more private behaviors becoming the business of government.

Sure, and no doubt that a. they will go too far and b. they will exempt themselves
