Microchipping in healthcare bill

Buried deep within the over 1,000 pages of the U.S. Health Care Bill, in a section called Subtitle C-11 Sec. 2521, The National Medical Device Registry, there are details for a nefarious plan for monitoring every human being in the United States. This law would make the United States the first nation in the world to require each and every citizen to have a radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip implanted under their skin, for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn't, allowed medical care in the country.¹

The definition of the National Medical Device Registry from H.R. 3200 [Healthcare Bill], pages 1001-1008, explains that: (1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the "registry") to facilitate the analysis of post-market safety and outcomes data on an implantable device that – "(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; (B) and is – (i) a class III device; or (ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining."

On page 1004, it describes what the term "data" means in paragraph 1, section B: "In this paragraph, the term'data'refers to claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary."²

What exactly is an implantable class II device?

Approved by the Federal Drug Administration, a class II implantable device is an "implantable radio frequency transponder system for patient identification and health information." See pages 1001-1008 on the National Medical Device Registry section.

Page 1006 says: "to be enacted within 36 months upon passage." Page 503 declares the use of a: "...medical device surveillance."

Why would the government use the word "surveillance" when referring to citizens? The definition of surveillance is the monitoring of the behavior, activities, or other changes in information, usually of people and often in a secret manner. The root of the word [French] means to "watch over." We really need to work to be sure this does not get implemented in our country and indeed, in every other country around the world.
