First, medical records are in a state of constant flux, that is they would require updating as you health conditions change. So unless you have a USB 2.0 jack in the end of your finger, that's a problem.
Second, current RFID chips are about the size and shape of a grain of rice and contain a radio receiver (tuned to the scanner) which demodulates a specific frequency to charge a capacitor. When sufficient voltage has accumulated it triggers a short pulse from a micro-transmitter (on a different frequency). The pulse is digitally modulated with a sixteen digit number, which is received by the scanner.
There is no constant supply of power to the device. It is activated only when in close proximity to the scanner (a few inches to a few feet). The intended use of such a device requires that they all operate on the same two frequencies therefore their range must be constrained to very short distances lest an interrogation pulse could trigger multiple chips to respond resulting in a garbled response.
The package size does not leave room for the circuitry necessary for the gigabytes of storage needed to store a complete medical record. It does in fact provide just what its' name says, a radio frequency identification (number). That number would be unique to an individual and serve as a key to enter the actual database containing the relevant medical history.
Having said all that the RFID has a critical vulnerability. Since it derives it's operational power from a pulse at a specific frequency, one has only to expose the device to a somewhat stronger pulse to fry the internal circuitry (specifically the diode demodulator and the storage capacitor). Presto, you have now disappeared permanently from the system, hope you stay healthy.

PS Wrapping you arm (or wherever) in aluminum foil will do the job on a less permanent basis.
A scanner could frisk you as you walked past a patrol car!
I knew I liked metal guns for a reason.

It's about the fact that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled, it is being fulfilled in our time, there will be an Antichrist, and there will be a mark that this Antichrist forces on everyone on the face of the earth and the fact that those who refuse this mark will be beheaded. Joseph Chambers is not the first person who has written about the possibility or fact that the government takeover of health care involves an implantable chip.
And none of this involves aluminum foil, just facts. These things will happen- you can bet your life on it. This is reality - whether we want to face it or not.

Actually, not that hard. Think pet chips. There is a code that goes to another computer that has all the info. the Computer file is updated, the chip only has the number.
Add codes, like are already used for medical care, procedures and drugs at hospitals and it would be a snap to update the file on the fly.

That wont work.
In order to completely shield the transceiver you
would have to cut off your arm and completely
encase it in metal with no gaps or holes to
leak the rf. Any holes or gaps unless small enough would act
as a waveguide.
