Re: Like in the Movies
Why do you mention like in the movies? In Europe everybody has a card the size of a credit card, with a chip built into it (the exact same type of chip that SIM cards have in GSM phones).
The card contains all of your billing/policy information in it. Its really practical. They're already expanding the use to contain medical records as well. The privacy laws in Europe are much stronger, and health insurance is much more regulated, which permits such a system to function easily without worries of getting screwed by the companies. |
