Implanted Microchip in Patients Included in Healthcare Bill

As if we were not suspicious enough!

Microchip included in Healthcare Bill ?

It is definitely a device for storing information. I am skeptical of lots of stuff I get as fwds. Since I wear a pacemaker/defib I assumed someone had just made the wrong conclusion. I was wrong. This devise is described as: “implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information”. I don’t really have a problem with it so long as it is the individual’s decision to implant or remove the device. It looks like they are setting it up to be something other than a personal decision.
