MIcrochips for horses, your credit card and Americans, by 2017
Safety, fraud protection, identification and location – the reasons the microchip technology is spreading across the landscape of our society. In fact, a new report by NBC points to 2017 for Americans to receive a chip in their to smooth the road for Obamacare processiong.
