It's For Your Own Good... Really


Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield is starting a pilot programme to insert microchips into 280 patients with chronic conditions. The company says that the chips will be used to give casualty ward staff access to the patient's medical information if he is unable to communicate.

Really. That's all. Won't be used for anything else. Not for spying on people or anything like that. Not ever. Nothing to do with the boys on the telescreen monitors needing a break. Trust us. Would we lie?

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
