National Healthcare, Fiction

Scenario:

The pharmaceutical companies will lobby to have questionably tested vaccinations made mandatory for fun and profit (like AIDS vaccines for monogamous spouses or a vaccine for a real epidemic like pig flu.) If you don't get the vaccination you lose your insurance and end up paying a large yearly fine to the government. In the case of a real epidemic your National ID might flag you for immediate arrest should an officer perform a Terry stop on your person.

When people start getting sick and dying from the vaccine or their children come out mutated (how is thalidomide babby born?) insurance companies will raise their rates to compensate while simultaneously lobbying the government for a tax payer funded bailout.

Some senators and maybe even the president will put on his or her upside down smile face and root out some schmuck to take the heat. None of the true servants of evil posing as "government employees" will go to jail.

The pharmaceutical company will lie until the bitter end about the efficacy of their "vanity vaccinations" (Ala' Big Tobacco.) After the company goes bankrupt the same evil people who were responsible will start another pharmaceutical company. The company will purchase commercial time during the Super Bowl to inform the public that: "Your child's safety is our number one priority. We're working hard on vaccines to make sure they live a long healthy life."
