Re: "microchipping included in healthcare bill" - not true

Glad to see this article created so much controversy here. I wouldn't trust Snopes for anything, without cross checking it. Here is another one that is patently wrong.

"It is my opinion that an implant chip can always be refused. I know that even if you are in a hospital and you are dying, you can refuse any service, medication, or injection that they try to foist on you. I know, I refused a catheter that an RN was trying to force on me, and there was nothing she could do about it. Now if they make the condition that you have to have a chip implanted in order to get medical service, that's different but I doubt they could ever enforce it."

I think you are right on here for the most part, the chipping will be probably be by choice technically, but thats not going to stop them from trying to coerce people, just like they do for vaccines. They will tell people they have to take it, but most likely it will not be required by law. The data collection and the chip are connected, though there will probably be another option. There will always be a way to get around having the chip, just like you can get around having a legit identification. There is no need to fear, but to be aware that the chip is coming and in the works is valuable knowledge.

You are right on, on the double edge of technology, on that note it becomes easy to see how that the technology can be used to counteract itself.
