-Caveat Lector- The thing is, it won't need a government dictate...
Think back to the advent of bank debit cards -- "ATM cards" 25 or so years ago...at first most people balked at using them, and would only begrudgingly use one at a bank ATM if they had no other choice (for example, needing cash on a holiday or in the middle of the night)... To encourage the use of these cards, banks actually PAID customers to use them back then; further encouragement was provided by having the banks band together into networks, so one could use a card from any bank in the network at a participating bank's ATM, even if it wasn't one's own bank. After a couple of years, one found that one was further encouraged to use these cards when gas stations switched over from focusing on having a station employee pump gas into a customer's car (plus clean the windshield and automatically check the oil) to focusing on 'self service' pumps which charged a lower price, and required the use of either a credit or a debit/ATM card... Soon one found that stores were accepting the use of debit cards as if they were credit cards, and indeed one now finds that many stores would rather one use a card of some type for purchases rather than cash... So now, 25 years later, one finds that using some sort of card to make purchases is the 'preferred' method of most shoppers -- a 180-degree turnaround that did NOT require any government mandate... I see the same thing happening with these microchips -- one will slowly find various venues encouraging the use of these microchips, and gradually the public will decide to use them as the chips are touted for various features, such as 'convenience', 'providing safety', 'economical' (they will be used like store 'bargain cards' are now), and the fact that one can only gain certain services or products if one has one (again like store 'bargain cards')... The government won't have to mandate anything, as the push will come from the retail and medical/insurance sectors to encourage the utilization of these microchips, and the public will gradually come to not only accept but actually desire them, just as the public came to accept and desire the use of ATM/debit cards....
