I get it. The same people who have determined we need their help with health insurance would LOVE to choose our homes and cars for us. Or rather, they would love to force us all into high rise communities within walking distance to our jobs and eliminate the automobile entirely.
In a way, forcing government chosen health care plans on the people is a test of how much more intrusion we will be willing to tolerate for our own good.
You have your tense wrong - they have already made a really solid start on both houses and cars.
