Sorry, I read the text of the bill excerpted in the article and I don't think it has anything to do with microchipping people. 

Even so, there are many Christians familiar with the Mark of the Beast  that would refuse these implants - the penalty for accepting them is far greater than anything the government can dish up.

The new Health Care Bill, H.R. 3200, just passed by Congress has within it the requirement that all people thereunder shall be microchiped. The plans for this microchipping have been in the hopper going back to December of 2004.

Witness the actual FDA (Food and Drug Administration) document dated December 10, 2004 entitled “Class II Special Guidance Document: Implantable Radiofrequency Transponder System for Patient Identification and Health Information. This ten page document may be read on the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm072191.pdfNow
witness the wording within H.R. 3200, “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009” found on Congresses’ House Ways and Means website, http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001On page 1001 is “Subtitle C – National Medical Device Registry” which states,

“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 … is or has been used in or on a patient…”

In other words, everyone microchipped pursuant to the new Health Care Bill must be registered with the Secretary. The “Secretary” is defined as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

The date by which this registry is to begin is mandated on page 1006, which is 36 months after the Health Bill becomes law.

(2) EFFECTIVE DATE. – The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall establish and begin implementation of the registry under section 519(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as added by paragraph (1) by not later than the date that is 36 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, without regard to whether of not final regulations to establish and operate the registry have been promulgated by such date.

Therefore, under the law of H.R. 3200 recently passed by Congress, microchipping of Americans must begin by the year 2013.

Aaron Russo was right!

 The first link from the FDA does appear to be talking about medical microchip implants. However, I could not get the second "housewaysand means" link to work....

From the description in your article, it seems they could be talking about any type of medical device, not necessarily microchips, as far as the legistation that is currently being enacted goes.... (If I could access the house ways and means link, I could assess the situation better!)

I am not the original poster here, but here is the actual link.  Some information was left off of the link.

On page 1001 is “Subtitle C – National Medical Device Registry”

Also, here is some additional information from the FDA's website on what is a Class II implantable chip:

Good luck and God bless.
