(g)(1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that— ‘‘(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘‘(B)and is— ‘‘(i) a class III device; or ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.”
Section B ‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to information respecting a device described in paragraph (1), including 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” http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/...CA09001xml.pdf
But again, it seems this was REMOVED in the law signed by Obama..
Please explain how this wording gives people the option of allowing the government to implant within them medical data tracking chips. You say it's "clear" - whereas I don't see it even in the slightest.
All I have to say is, just let em come near me or my children with a chip! I dare em!
The Medical Device Registry isn't about "micro chipping Americans" despite what that uninformed blog says. It's about setting up a registry to record the numbers on all the medical devices that go into a human body like artificial knees, screws, plates, hips, etc. Those things do fail or get recalled and the government needs to know which companies are making the substandard ones to help control health care costs.
I love how the OP hasn't come back to respond to the way in which their ridiculous assertion has been torn apart, leaving pghquest to hopelessly flail about like usual. Drop a turd and run, I guess.

So you dont understand
‘‘(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘‘(B)and is— ‘‘(i) a class III device; or ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.”
‘‘(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘‘(B)and is— ‘‘(i) a class III device; or ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.”
means?
No, it is you that doesn't understand what you are reading. See post #35.

Partially true. It indeed sets up a logging method to record implantable devices, but this leads to 2 questions
1) Some of these devices are already logged by the manufacturors and hospitals, so why is there a need for the government to do so
2) Some of the devices not logged and indexed, if this would have become law, would indeed begin to be logged. I can see the need to log things like artificial hearts by the manufacturer in the event of a recall, but do you really think everything implanted should be logged and recorded by the government? Why?
I don't own an RV. I ride a Harley. It's being serviced, and I'm just about to go pick it up (they don't open until 10 on Sundays). Why are you concerned about my leisure activities? Are you suggesting I'm lying? You wouldn't be doing that, would you?
PM your e-mail address, and I'll send you pictures. Very beautiful scenery. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
