This is disinformation meant to scare and control us. We're being set up to be humiliated with this lie. The bill calls for a committee to regulate "implantable" devices, but they are not part of the health care plan's data recording process.

This is a disinfo campaign to DISTRACT us from all the medical data the federal government is going to collect and centralize. The idea is to make us scared of an implanted chip so we waste our time fighting against THAT instead of what they've REALLY put into the bill. Clever editing by the government shill who crafted the Above Top Secret post makes it sound like the feds are going to store medical data in these devices. Far from it, the Text makes it very clear the mandate is to collect this data ABOUT the people who have implanted devices so they can study their safety.

Obamacare will study implanted devices but is not requiring them or using them.
