To keep the government costs low, they are going to have people pay for this device for monthly fees of upwards of $100/month - and allow private companies access to any and all data that the device collects, which said companies can sell to whomever they want without compensating the individual. To keep those who are worried happy, the government will, reluctantly, provide a way to turn off the device, but will make it very hard to do so to discourage anyone from using that option.

Scary, huh?
Sorry. Not a new plan. I's called an Apple watch, Fitbit, CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor), and even those things that tell you when you've fallen and can't get up. Pretty soon, your insurance carrier, picked by your employer as a "benefit", will tell you to wear one of their devices or pay a $200/month surcharge. Wait for it: Medicare for all" the best benefit ever. NOT !
