As comforting as such statements appear, it's important to remember that adoption of the RFID chips doesn't necessarily need to be legislated to become nearly universal. If enough hospitals and insurance companies begin requiring them, or treating patients wearing them more expeditiously than nonusers, or providing discounts for usage of the chips, they well could become the norm. Then, not wearing a chip might be akin to not having a bank ATM card or, increasingly in Eastern states with toll roads and turnpikes, not having a transponder to pay tolls in your car

OK, not in the bicep but you can surely find a spot up under or between the toes. Now, when I walk into the HMO I'm not going to get hassled for the 17 zillionth time about carrying an insurance card and then repeating the same info I've been telling the same girl since my kids were born in 1989 and 1992. Conspiracy nuts are worried about ID chips but how the hell is that any different than the heap of cards I'm sitting on in my wallet today. So they're not under my skin but ask yourself how far you can go in 2007 from your house without such PROOF OF ID.
There is no place on earth less personal and less HUMANE than these medical clinics. In every conceivable way I am treated like a farm animal. If implanting a chip speeds up this process COUNT ME IN!
MOOOOOOOO!
