In fact it very specifically refers to medical devices, especially life sustaining ones but also does not refer to rfid for these either. In fact it just speaks about making sure there is a record of the device and its manufacturer for government use. Its too bad because RFID tags would be one more reason for me to dislike this bill, unfortunately the person who posted this did not read carefully enough.

The Medical device registry is in fact under section 2571 (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3962/text). Also, nothing about chips here. It states that any FDA Class III device - like breast implants, pacemakers, stints (http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/CompliancePolicyGuidanceManual/ucm123766.htm) be registered and cross-referenced with electronic healthcare records to ensure safety. So, if you have a pacemaker it is numbered & cross-referenced with your SSN or something and the FDA gets authority to build a database of your patient data vs. that lot number so they can show Quality Assurance outcomes. This is currently done by hand in every major healthcare facility internally - the bill leverages this on the government. I'd bet it's more for the growing cases of faulty breast implants & cosmetics that are un-regulated vs. any mandatory chipping (NO references to this anywhere). Scary if you think they're out to get you, otherwise harmless because you're getting the Pacemaker anyway... I don’t see that under section 2521.

But it is certainly not explicitly in there.
