I made this thread because of the Paragraph in the article about President Obama wanting to introduce EMR.
Rest assured the idea of implantable RFID chips will freak a few folks out. However, I see RFID as a key component to personal health records, which are patient controlled medical data repositories. Microsoft (HealthVault resources), Google (Google Health resources) and others have pitched personal health records and the idea makes a lot of sense. The problem: What happens if I’m in a car wreck and can’t tell the doctor my log-in and password? What if my personal health record on a portal doesn’t synch up with a hospital’s IT systems? Will I actively manage my personal health record?
Simply put, personal health records (PHRs) have their limitations and an RFID chip could expand their use. It would be a lot easier if I were implanted with an RFID chip that could be read when I pass through the doors of the emergency room. Could this RFID chip be hacked? Possibly. But in real world use an implantable RFID chip used for medical purposes makes a lot of sense to me.
Judging from some of the rude comments you shouldn't even have to justify a response in the first place!

Okay, I understand how you feel that tis is LEADING towards chipping, but the actual plan that Obama is talking about IS NOT CHIPPING. The way your first post made it sound is as if that is what Obama is saying (that EMR has something to do with chipping), when in fact it does not.
Users of VeriChip's VeriMed technology can now utilize a Microsoft HealthVault account to access and manage their personal health data stored in the VeriMed database.

the whole purpose of this thread is, me ,trying to tell everybody what i believe will happen. Just because there are signs pointing in that direction.
Have you realy read all my post? 'cause then you could not have missed the connection between RFID, VeriMed healthlink, Microsoft, the goverment, and the EMR
They are either going to do this by offering free healthcare or they are going to try and make this a "sales-object" that everybody wants, like televisions, computers and gameconsols......
These are just my thought on the subject and i have given you all the articles that let me to see the correlation.....

The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.
As a group we don't exist.
But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.
