Don't really know what to make of this. I'm not that naive but coupled with what Glenn Beck has been documenting, well, hmm. Cost savings?

So now they’re goimg to tag us like cattle????
I think this just concerns devices like pacemakers.
There’s been discussion on this in other threads where it’s stated that they’re tracking effectiveness of “implanted” devices (artificial knees etc.), not implanting RFID devices.
Even so Vince, why a National registry??
WTFO??
Are they talking about pacemakers and boob implants or a type of chip much like the one that the Humane Society had implanted in my rescue dog?
Most implant devices are already tracked by serial or lot numbers in case of recalls, etc.
In the aftermath what we will find out is that
what they say and what they do are two different things.
Do you think it would be easy to put the mark of the beast on any unwilling subject ? they are gonna mark you any way they can ....
In the case of the latter they will require it without due process of law, ex post facto. It will be challenged and the courts will uphold the requirement. There won't be any unrest over this because it is only registered sex offenders, but the precedent will be established in law that there is no right to resist being chipped.
I think so. They just traced a murder victim last week by the serial number on her breast implant. Apparently the companies are already required to keep records.
What is different is that the government will be keeping those records instead of or probably in addition to the companies.
It could be a positive if the companies go out of business and/or lose the records. But it’s one more set of records government is keeping on us.
And it leads to the Death Panel cost effectiveness studies where they decide because you are senior or a child or your name is berg, that it’s just not cost justified to save your life.
If I am reading this correctly it means implantable life saving devices such as pacemakers, AICD’s which is pacemaker defibs, there are also certain implantables for parkinsons etc.
These are all recorded by the companies that make them and tracked. Like Medtronic, St Judd’s etc. But this is saying they want to track them to see if they are useful. A AICD implant could cost $100,000.00. They want to track this to see if it is worth the cost.
I know a gentleman who lived a extra 10 years with his AICD. Then in the end nothing could save him. Dick Cheney has a defibrillator AICD.
They can keep their filthy, evil hands off of our bodies. This is about what is cost worthy and what should be rationed.
Well, you can’t put a chip on something like an intraocular lens, but you can micro-engrave the IOL. This is mostly about making device manufacturers track their products for recalls and to allow the govt to strike the device off the list of items that public healthcare will pay for.
I’m not sure about this, maybe they mean pacemakers and stuff like that. They’s probably cut them out and reuse the damned things when you croak!
I got the impression from the words under Class II (Paragraph1. Section B)on page 1004 they were talking about Humane Society/Cattle Tags.
The company would register it, not the user.
I think the logical interpretation here is co-ordinating with the FDA on labeling implantable devices in a universal way. If that’s true, its not that earthshaking. Remember the murder that took place last week, where identification took place via breast implant serial number identification? That’s the sort of thing that would be covered.
The thing is, I think that most of the ideas here are existing law: Companies track device malfunctions and serial numbers. Problems are reported. Serial numbers are available. I don’t know what added efficiencies centralization of the information would provide.
Creating a new bureaucracy to duplicate what has already been done.
That's how you bring health care costs down! /s
