- ceejayoz 3y agoThat can change. One of the two major political parties made getting rid of that law a core campaign promise for nearly a decade.
- nradov 3y agoNot exactly. You are probably referring to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). It protects US persons against employment and medical insurance discrimination based on genetics but doesn't apply to other types of insurance such as life insurance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrimination_Act?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim...

- mariojv 3y agoI mean, any law could change any minute, but this one passed nearly unanimously in both House and Senate. There was only 1 vote against it in the House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrimination_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim...
- thenerdhead 3y agoMaybe back that up with a source because the three insurances I referenced in my post are not protected by any means. Those are also key insurances for anyone with a debilitating illness such as the topic of discussion.
