This may not be directly affecting the disabled community (yet) but I thought it deserved mentioning. In this day of identification thievery and our information scattered from here to Timbuktu, we are now faced with having medical information implanted under our skin for the medical industry to "accurately and reliably access necessary vital information". I'm not buying that rational when compared to my information being readily available to insurance companies, possibly before an employment opportunity. Wouldn't it make sense (correct me if I'm wrong) that the very first individual REQUIRED to have these EHR implants would be the disabled, seniors, and the poor. All of which receive federal medical aid.

Oops, did I leave the cat out of the bag. Yes folks we are talking about Electronic Health Records. These little implants are placed under your skin to allow anyone (doctors, pharmaceuticals, insurance companies) to access your info. This info would be available on computer software.

Here is more info for you to read:
