You would probably be interested in this then (which makes that illegal): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrimination_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim... It was signed by George W. Bush(Republican) into law. I remember being surprised because I would have thought that health care companies would have made a some kind of "free market enterprise" argument that they should be able to use DNA data to make insurance more "efficient". It even passed in the house 416 - 16.

This just highlights the inherent contradictions in wanting a 'free market health care system'. People say they want a free market health care system, but also they want 'fairness'..... and most people feel that being charged more for something outside of your control is 'not fair'. These two notions are at odds. The only way to solve this is by having a single payer, universal health care system.
