Honestly I would like a chip that has all my rewards cards and membership cards rolled into one package. That way annytime I go rent a movie, get a book form the library, or go to the local theme park I only need to scan my arm. Or when I am at he theattre, cvs, grocery stores and use it for the rewards points. But those all in one options have not been put into place yet, and chip implants are still relatively new. This is my voluntary desire only.
If anyone decides that they would like to force me to have a chip foor any reason, than they can talk to my little fast moving 7.62 friends.
Again, there is nothing in the bill mandating, dictating, forcing, or requiring implanted chips in covered patients. Can we tag this as hoax?

Baby steps folks, Baby steps. If you want to see how far baby steps will eventually get you think back to 1990. Cell phones were almost non existant, only Doctors carried pagers, almost no one owned a personal computer and even if they did there was no internet perse to gather information at the pace we do today. If you had a Sega genisis you were
a serious gamer and cars were still being made with tape decks from the factory.
That wasn't even 20 yrs ago. Where the # do you think we are going to be 20 yrs from today?
Think about it.
Actually, I think you made one of the best cases for it. 20 years from now we might be talking about how paramedics had to spend time diagnosing issues with people before treating..heart attack, stroke, choked...whats wrong with the person on the ground...oh, lemme just swipe their chip here.
20 years from now they will talk about how people didnt have a immediate and quick way to measure blood sugar, bodyfat percent, vitiman deficiencys, etc.
20 years from now they will talk about how people looked 40 when 40 and died from heart disease at 60-70 in wonderment of how people existed in such primitive conditions.
Personally, I will accept a chip that emits no signals but is scannable for up to the minute reporting on my health...so long as I am the one holding the scanner, or someone hovering over me...is it possible to abuse this? sure...but so are ole school medical records of today.

Then, when you go to the library, theme park or theatre and they see that you're late on your credit card bill they say, "sorry sir, we can't sell you a ticket - it looks like your money would be better spent paying off your debt."
Or when you go to order a pizza and they guy on the other end of the line says, "sorry sir, you've been flagged. It appears your cholesterol is off that charts and PizzaShack can't be held liable for selling you a pepperoni pizza - may we offer you a salad instead?"
It may sound outrageous now. Maybe not today, maybe not in 50 years, but someday - if we allow "chipping" to occur it WILL happen.

Read those sections people....... the excerpts from the document are taken out of context. It says NOTHING about the implanting of a "radiofrequency transponder" it simply talks about implanted devices that are
"3 ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable,
4 life-supporting, or life-sustaining."
I can't believe the instant stars and flags when it is obvious that people did not read this for themselves.
