Subject: FDA Approves Use of Chip in Patients ? HIPAA woes?

Found an article discussing a new verichip that would be implanted under patient's skin and used to store medical information. Each time the patient would visit the doctor, this information would get updated. This raises concerns about privacy as the chip could also be used to track the whereabouts of an individual, aside from obvious concerns with HIPAA and the secure transmission and storage of patient health info.
