I would not want to see people worrying about being "scanned" for eligibility for insurance or even a job. Who ever dreamed that credit reports would knock people out of employment but they do now. We may end up finding ourselves in a world where you can't risk medical treatment unless there is nothing at all wrong with you, so you can get "points" for that on your chip.
