I saw this coming long ago...
1st it was for your beloved pets
Next, it was to help keep track of your "forgetful" loved ones with Alzheimers
Now, its for us, "in case of an emergency"
This has been bandied about for some time. CNN is simply breaking the ice to get the sheeples willingly on board with a program that will become
mandatory for everyone in the very near future.
It is included in Americas Health Care bill, (yes, I actually read the 2000+ page bill) and is (one way) participation in the (mandated) program will
be enforced.
Dont have a chip? Sucks to be you...
Part of the reason that the controversial bill does not go into effect until 2013 is to give time for hospitals and clinics across the nation to get
their chip reading tech online.
PositiveID, (formerly VeriChip) is the main source behind all of this, and indeed does have Credit/Identity capabilities already available.

Even now it is getting harder to buy things with cash...On a recent cross country flight on a commercial airline, I was unable to buy a meal onboard
without a credit card. Cash (exact change, mind you) was NOT accepted.
I, too see the day that one will find it very difficult to make purchases of all kinds, including medical care, if they are not chipped.
I, personally, will refuse to be "LoJacked".
"Welcome to the Future"???
Scary days ahead indeed.
