No we all won't..This would be absurdly expensive and people would opt out cause they can't afford it and for other reasons.

They can shove their ideas for 2030 where the sun doesn't shine.

I agree with everyting you said. I got a pacemaker last fall and a little box sits on my bed stand and monitors it..If something goes wrong,I go into the clinic..The more electronics you are wired to,the larger the chances things will go wrong,bad wrong. I doubt this will ever be a thing for the reasons we discussed and there are plenty more reasons it won't happen.
