The License Plate In Your Wallet

Back in the 1970's, President Nixon (in all his brilliance) decided to tackle the issue of "escalating oil prices" by simply saying you can't raise the price.  Soon rationing followed in various states, and we were left the "Odd-Even" days at the gas pump.  Your license plate determined whether you could even buy gas on a specific day.

Now Obama is proposing we fix prices on insurance. Anyone want to bet that doctor's offices will start enacting "Odd-Even" days based on your Social Security card? Isn't it convenient that each citizen now carries the equivalent of a license plate in their wallet?
