Especially at $300 a pop that's a lot more than a $5 or $10 card
RFID cards aren't $5.

Maybe this is different since I'm coming from non-US point of view so health care is quite different. To me it's obvious that employer's insurance covers implanting, removal, and any issues that it might cause.
your country of origin shouldn't matter. I'm pretty sure he/she was concerned about health related medical risks, and just because the insurance 'covers' it, provides little solace
Maybe I'm missing something, but all in all this is convenience vs pain value comparison. Does the pain the implant might inflict outweigh the possible benefits.
I bet there is something I'm not considering or I'm misunderstanding something. To me this is pretty straight forward for now.

OK, this is Wisconsin, but for one Apple Pay is not available everywhere outside of U.S.
> "Something like Apple Pay" Meaning a smartphone app to authenticate, instead of a lanyard or keycard.
Can someone explain why people prefer implants over rings? Functionality wise it's same: read on RFID tag, maybe with some light computation. People wear rings all the time, application is painless, easy to change once compromised or if there is a new model, and provides same features. Chips would have advantage if they would provide better IO, but currently they don't.
Not wanting something extra to remember to put on in the morning.
If you're not used to wearing one, it might be uncomfortable.
For example I love the functionality my smart watch gives me, like not having to dig for my phone from my pocket every time something happens, for timers, and most obviously for time keeping, but I hate how it feels and looks and I've had terrible experience with cheaper straps/bands breaking after few months of use. It's just because I'm not a watch person, but until we can somehow embed screens in our skin, have something like Google glass embedded into our eyes, or have the data somehow streamed to our brains I'm stuck with wearing one.

What's the worst thing that can happen? It gets infected and needs to be removed and I have to take up to few months of paid sick leave?

- they were required to have their "tags" on them all the time as it opened door and things like that...
- but they were also timed on when and how long their toilet breaks were. Or if they went to the canteen too early or stayed too long for their lunch. For all the "offences" their pay was docked.

If you get sepsis or rare complications it can be fatal we had a intern who broke his leg at a company cricket match and he was dead before morning.
So my thought was combine the two into an RFID nose ring or something.
But the downside is you'd have people swiping various body parts in checkout lines. "It didn't go, try again. Wait, please don't try again."
