President Barack Obama kicked off a critical week for his health care reform effort with a Labor Day speech Monday to AFL-CIO members in Cincinnati. The president is aiming to refocus a debate that analysts say spun out of his control last month.
In his speech, the president told the cheering crowd "the time is now" for healthcare reform.
Now, I have no interest in putting insurance companies out of business. They provide a legitimate service, and employ a lot of our friends and neighbors. I just want to hold them accountable. The insurance reforms that I've already mentioned would do just that. But an additional step we can take to keep insurance companies honest is by making a not-for-profit public option available in the insurance exchange. Let me be clear – it would only be an option for those who don't have insurance. No one would be forced to choose it, and it would not impact those of you who already have insurance. In fact, based on Congressional Budget Office estimates, we believe that less than 5% of Americans would sign up.

VeriChip Corporation ("VeriChip"), a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, and Steel Vault Corporation ("Steel Vault"), a premier provider of identity security products and services, announced that VeriChip has agreed to acquire Steel Vault and form PositiveID Corporation to offer identification tools and technologies for consumers and businesses. In conjunction with the merger, VeriChip plans to change its name to PositiveID and continue to trade on the NASDAQ. PositiveID intends to change its ticker symbol to "PSID" upon closing of the transaction.
The formation of PositiveID represents the convergence of a pioneer in personal health records, VeriChip, with a leader in the identity security space, Steel Vault, focused on access and security of a consumer's critical data. The companies believe that joining personal health records and identity security solutions provides a solid foundation for organic growth and a strong, flexible platform for future offers.
The House of Representatives passed a health care reform bill by a vote of 220-215 on November 7, 2009. Currently the fate of the bill rests on the Senate. The legislation once included changes that would give the government the power to negotiate policy premiums and to provide a public option, but in an effort to acquire the necessary votes to prevent a Republican filibuster the public option was eliminated from the bill. This would have given citizens the option to buy into public programs like Medicare for which current members pay only $96.40 monthly. Instead the bill now requires that all American's purchase private health insurance or be subject to fines.

An integral part of the foundation of PositiveID is its radio-frequency identification (RFID) implantable microchip for patient identification, the VeriChip. The company's RFID microchip traces back to the events of September 11, 2001, when New York firemen wrote their badge ID numbers on their chests in case they were found injured or unconscious. It was evident there was a serious need for personal information in emergency situations and the product, modeled after a similar microchip used in pets, evolved from there. The company received FDA clearance for the microchip in October 2004.

If there was knowledge of this technology being utilized without a doubt, wouldn't the stock be more stable???
I think the fact that it dropped so dramatically after 666 might indicate the spike was
a speculative attempt by people that cascaded and failed.
Other wise these insiders lost a nice chunk of change provided they did not buy all that volume at once, which does not appear to be the case.
Now if these number spike and hold - then its game on - think about it, the goal is to make money right?

I,too,have been watching this take place.
With the stimulus money were funds to digitize everyone's medical records,and from there on,it becomes more obvious all the time what is intended.
Thanks for sharing!

I ask a very simple question, why would the rest of the world be interested in the date 9/9/9 when it really only effects the USA?
From what little knowledge I have of the number 666, I would believe it is a global number and not just effect the USA.
More of a local conspiracy rather than a global 1, as much as I like Americans, I like to remind them that the US isn't the centre of the universe.

so you are thinking that the Health Care Reform Bill in the US will effect the UK?
As we know there is a filter down effect from the US to most places, but I see this as more a coincidence of dates and numbers more than a biblical progpecy to do with 999 or 666.
These type of connections are refered to as red herrings as they divert the attention from the real issues.
