>what if it goes the way of the endangered preexisting condition exclusion?
Then insurance companies will simply demand DNA to be insured. Same way car insurance companies demand financial information (through credit bureaus) in order to insure you in places where it's legal to do so (which is the vast majority of the US save 1-2 states).
So either way you don't have to worry about insurance companies mining private databases, if GINA exists they can't legally and if GINA doesn't exist they'll just do the data collection themselves.

Where we'd part company I guess is in seeing an equivalency of consequences in the lack of car as compared to the lack of health insurance.
