Supreme Court upholds Obama’s healthcare law, what they aren’t telling you is you’ll be chipped too? Since 2004


WASHINGTON — Led by a chief justice who some conservatives immediately branded a turncoat, the Supreme Court upheld most of President Obama‘s healthcare law Thursday, resolving a high-stakes constitutional clash not seen in decades and handing Obama a victory that surprised many in Washington.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and the four liberal justices joined to uphold the Democrats‘ most ambitious social legislation in a generation.
The unpopular requirement that everyone buy health insurance or pay a penalty — likened by detractors to a rule that everyone purchase broccoli — was unconstitutional as a mandate, Roberts said, but valid as long as it was simply considered a tax.
Obama, who had staked the success of his presidency on passage of the law, initially thought he had lost when Fox News and CNN incorrectly reported the mandate had been struck down. But after he retreated to his offices to ponder his defeat, White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler walked in to give him the thumbs-up.
“First, there were dark clouds,” one aide said, “and then there was joy.”
Obama’s first call was to Solicitor Gen. Donald B. Verrilli Jr., who had insisted on presenting the tax argument to the justices.
Later the president went before television cameras to pronounce the ruling “a victory for people all over this country whose lives will be more secure because of this law and the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold it.”     thank you Brian

Coverage under Obamacare

will require an implantable

microchip?

There’s a pretty starling thing in the bill that 95% of Americans won’t like. 
The Obama Health care bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) specifically includes ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable.” Then on page 1004 it describes what the term “data” means in paragraph 1, section B: 
14 ‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to in15 
formation respecting a device described in paragraph (1), 
16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized 
17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of 
18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health 
19 records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the 
20 Secretary” 
What exactly is a class II device that is implantable? Lets see… 
Approved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is a “implantable radio frequency  transponder system for patient identification and health information.” The purpose of a class II device is to collect data in medical patients such as “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.”      thank you Steven

I just tried to search on the Obamacare health bill for anything saying anything about  microchips being implanted in citizens and Snopes reported it as FALSE, but I don’t know what exactly to think of that?  shera~

FDA approves computer chip; more like rods or a fuse for humans in 2004.

FDA approves computer chip for humans

Devices could help doctors with stored medical information

WASHINGTON — Medical milestone or privacy invasion? A tiny computer chip approved Wednesday for implantation in a patient’s arm can speed vital information about a patient’s medical history to doctors and hospitals. But critics warn that it could open new ways to imperil the confidentiality of medical records.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for medical purposes.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over it.

Medical Device Technology Forecast: Discussion

Although a large number of topics emerged from this survey, six major trend categories circumscribe all of the product-type examples. These same categories encompass all of the generic technologies except “infection control” (which elicited responses too heterogeneous for analysis), and “virtual reality” (which participants viewed as an educational tool, not a clinical one). These trend categories are:
  1. Computer-related technology
  2. Molecular medicine
  3. Home- and self-care
  4. Minimally invasive procedures
  5. Combination device/drug products
  6. Organ replacements and assists
The first two of these trend categories comprise developments grounded in scientific advances; the second two in growing delivery modalities; and the last two in specific product-types.

UNKMICROCHIP/CAPSULE


UNK MICROCHIP/CAPSULE  
Event Date 08/01/2002
Event Type  No Answer Provided
Event Description
Caller reported their church reverend and church deacon entered the house while caller was asleep, sedated them, removed them from the home and implanted a “microchip” into their right ear for experimental purposes. Caller did not know the purpose of the experiment. Caller experienced disorientation, pain to right head. Caller reports that the deacon and reverend have “rigged up the microchip” so that caller receives audio messages regarding their past medical and personal history. Caller went to hospital and had x-rays and ct scans done which showed the microchip was implanted.
