Must have SSL or dedicated IP address?

I am a web developer and I was talking with a hosting provider we use for
marketing sites and blogs, as we were discussing opening a new account we
were told that google was looking at enforcing SSL or a dedicated IP
address on each site otherwise you would be penalized.

As I was doing more research on this I found this article:

If this is real and google will serously enforce this and penilize sites in
my opinion it would be the STUPIDIEST (sorry) thing google has ever done.

The reason why google's search engine is so big and popular as we all know,
is for the quality of the results shown. This results are based on content
and relevance. There are millions of website which contain the answers the
user is looking for and most all of them dont have the budget to pay for an
SSL cert a year.
Google will loose this sites, its credibility and quality of results. I
would personally move to Bing and will make sure to explain all my
followers why.

I cannot believe this is being considered.
