This is a joke. People do some research and you will find out that a Class II medical device is NOT and RFID chip. Usually this refers to pacemakers.

Enough with the fear mongering. We get it, you are afraid of the govt and Obama and health care. But stick to the facts of the issue and stop making assumptions about things you do not understand.

IF TPTB wanted to put chips in the American people, why would they even bother to put it in any legislation? Why not just do it in secret? If they have a secret agenda to put chips in everyone why bother to actually put it in a piece of legislation that everyone can see? Keep it secret like the agenda they supposedly have to do so.

Quote from : Albrecht : Microchip Implants FAQ's
Q. Does the U.S. government want to chip the public?
To the best of our knowledge, no current member of the United States government has seriously suggested chipping the public.
However, at least two high-ranking government-related individuals have discussed chipping, and that's cause for concern.
The first is Tommy Thompson, former Secretary of Health and Human Services and one-time candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.
Thompson was in charge of the FDA when it approved the VeriChip for medical purposes in 2004, then went on to become member of the VeriChip board of directors until March 2007.
In public appearances, Thompson has suggested injecting microchips into Americans to link to their electronic medical records, saying:
"It's very beneficial and it's going to be extremely helpful and it's a giant step forward to getting what we call an electronic medical record for all Americans."
The second government official to discuss chipping is U.S. Senator Joe Biden, who made this unnerving comment to Justice John Roberts during his Supreme Court Confirmation hearings on September 12, 2005:
"Can a microscopic tag be implanted in a person's body to track his every movement?
There's actual discussion about that.
You will rule on that mark my words before your tenure is over."
U.S. Sen. Joe Biden

This is what you get when people who are not used to decipher such legal text are trying to do anyway.
What this section of the bill actually does is allow the Secretary of Health ato "establish a national medical device registry to facilitate analysis of post-market safety and outcomes data” on Class III medical devices and all “implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining” Class II medical devices that may be used on certain patients. Note, that not EVERYONE has to get an implant. So it establishes a registry designed to gather data on the effectiveness and safety of medical devices.
It's important to know what these different classes of medical devices are. The FDA has split up all medical devices used on patients into 3 classes according to their potential to harm patients. Class I devices include things like tongue depressors, latex gloves and handheld surgical instruments. They they don't require a lot of FDA control. Class II devices are a little more complicated, but not enough to warrant an over the top FDA oversight. They include things like wheelchairs, surgical needles and x-ray machines. Class III devices require the most FDA oversight, including premarket testing and approval. They include things like implantable pacemakers, silicone breast implants, and replacement heart valves.
It doesn't state you will be forced to get an implant!!
Don't just spread fear like that without understanding the context

Verichip has literally been peddling this project for years. It's nothing new. A few years back a family from Florida (if memory serves correct, and truth be known I'm just too lazy to look it up) volunteered to have these chips implanted with some very basic information as part of a marketing ploy. At the time no one was really interested in it and the resulting technology was then used to tag pampered pets.
Could the government force everyone to become "chipped"? Sure. Anything is possible.
Is it logistically possible? I sincerely doubt it. The moment the government tries to do anything that remotely smacks of forced implants, the whole Revelations-mark-of-the-beast thing is going to come into play and the masses will freak out. It's just not feasible in any shape or form.
