As we see it....
Rumor has it that VeriChip is going to sell the Company.
If they do, it will most likely be to the government --or else receive government subsidies to continue-- since Homeland Security could easily replace "REAL ID " with this system. -- Apocalyptic Hope
"If the firm sells the VeriMed business or the whole of VeriChip, it plans to propose a second, special dividend to its stockholders consisting of all remaining distributable cash then held by VeriChip. "

VeriChip said it will launch a direct-to-consumer marketing campaign in South Florida on ( Monday ) April 28. The general idea appears to be to woo a bunch of retirees to implant an RFID chip (right) and connect the information with personal health records. VeriChip will pitch its wares through
HEARx hearing aid stores in the Palm Beach area.
VeriChip will hook up its chip with its patient ID system called Health Link.

Health Link requires implanting program participants with a tiny microchip (similar in size to a grain of rice) just under the skin in the rear upper portion of the right arm.

Microchipping Humans -- April 25, 2008
"The chip works a lot like what people do to their pets to protect them from getting lost or stolen, but some opponents to microchipping say people should not be tracked like dogs. They say that while the chip might be used only for medical purposes now, they fear it could be reprogrammed in the future.
"I get a little nervous when you talk about injecting something -- some foreign material into my skin, into anybody," Payne says.
"It's an invasion of one's privacy," Chris Stuart, Fort Myers resident, says. "I certainly wouldn't want it done to me."

Missouri legislature : Don't force chip implants -- May 29, 2008

Ed: While this looks like a victory for anti-chippers, it falls far short of the complete scenario.
The Powers That Be can create a crisis whereby CHOOSING the implant will greatly expedite matters, and satisfy the American dream of convenience. ( no mandate needed here )
We praise K. Albrecht for her efforts and we commend all State Legislatures for their efforts, but the Bible clearly states that the system will cause ALL to receive a mark in their right hand or forehead . ( Rev. 13: 14-18 )
No laws whatsoever will come against that.
CAUSING is not mandating, nor is it "requiring".
CAUSING  is setting up a no-win situation --- unless one takes the implanted chip, voluntarily.

Here is an example of expediting matters with an implanted chip:

Note : This is not mandated nor is it required, but it sure IS convenient !
