I am sure it will happen eventually but I doubt it will have anything to do with health care.
I agree with you on that. The health care bill was just a convenient vehicle to get the "forced registration of all citizens" ball rolling (or forwarded). To be sure, the next popular bill to become law will get some amendment to it which allows more intrusion into the rights and privacy of the individual, and will be lauded as "good for the people", which actually means "the people who are in power".
It just gets more intrusive under each succeeding administration due to technology, ideology has little to do with it.
I agree with the first part. But, dissagree about the ideology aspect. Ideology was codified in the bill of rights, and current ideology of the dominant powers (backed by billionaire Micheal Bloomberg's media empire) is repugnant to it, despite each and every sworn law maker swearing to uphold it in their oath of office. These people are unprosecuted traitors that received majority vote.
Sometime in the future something will happen that will frighten the country enough so the national security bureaucracy can push something like DNA collection through. What that is and when, who knows, but you know they won't let a crisis go to waste.
Yes, that is the way of perverted government. Must capitalize on every tragedy to forward their agenda. This tactic has been used for years by human behavior specialists. The headlines make the tragedy prominent to outrage the populace, and any agenda can be "hidden in background" to receive little attention. Magicians have entertained for decades using misdirection, leaving the audience befuddled as to how that happened.
We need more people on the inside like Edward Snowden to expose their secrets.
The sad fact is that the citizenship is allowing the elimination of individual rights to happen, through indifference, ignorance, inattention, and sloth, even though the agendas aren't really secret. The key to future behavior is not campaign promises, but a historical pattern of voting record and behavior. Voting records are available for all to scrutinize. But, how many people do you know that bother to reference that data before making a voter selection?
The key to gaining and remaining a governmental power is to keep the people fat, dumb, and happy. This translates to plenty of food, limited to no education (or miseducation), and entertainment with trivial matters to occupy them and draw attention away from issues that really matter to the future well being of individuals, rather than a cowed population of handout recipients.
Isn't it widely accepted that the US populace is obese?
How many parents monitor what their child is taught in schools? How many parents even attempt to keep up with what government is doing?

Has anyone else noticed the transition between news reporting and the current news "shows" that now dominate event knowledge for the general public?
As to conspiracy, there is a reason why the word exists in vocabulary.
