Stop the anti-Obamacare Propaganda

A few weeks ago I received a message from a friend via Whatsapp. I have subsequently seen the same message on Facebook and I've been informed that some people have received the message via e-mail. The message purports to be a revelation of the US government's intention to place microchips under the skin of US citizens as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Below is the message:
US Senate has passed the 'Obama Health Care' bill into law & the implementation would commence on 23/03/2013.This bill would require all Americans to be implanted with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip in order to access medical care. The device will be implanted on the forehead or on the arm.

This is to fulfil the prophesy in the Book of Revelation 13:15-18 concerning the MARK OF THE BEAST! Are you still in doubt concerning the ENDTIME?

GET READY! The rapture is near! Be prepared so you are not caught unawares.

Live a good life, pray more, preach the GOSPEL to others and save souls.

Revelations 13 is being played out right before us. Many are still unaware..

(1) Why is the chip being implanted exactly where the Bible says it would be. Why on the hand and forehead. Why not anywhere else?

(2) Why is it being connected to your bank account?

Remember the Bible says you won't be able to buy or sell without the mark. And guess what ! The chip is connected to your financial details.. What breaks my heart the most, is that many people in the church will not make it if Jesus comes now. Many are unaware that the end is near.. Don't tell me that its a developed world process, technology or something fancy.

If any area of your life is not in sync with God's word, its time to make a quick u-turn NOW.. Hell is not a pretty place..the worst part is that it is for eternity...please rather than post and forward Boko haram's devilish accomplishments, join me and sound the alarm. Send to everyone you know.. PLEASE play your part in this

This message is complete falsehood. It is a malicious story cooked by right-wing elements with the aim of whipping up sentiments against the Act by playing on the religious inclination of most Americans.

The Act in no way requires the planting of a microchip in any part of the body for any reason whatsoever. Do visit www.snopes.com/politics/medical/microchip.asp for a complete debunking of these ridiculous and desperate claims.
