I see several issues:
1. It's just more evidence (as if we needed it) that individual health insurance is a fumdamentally flawed system and we should absolutely not base policy decisions on that terrible premise;
2. There is a danger on physicians attributing symptoms to a genetic illness. Honestly, I think this might even be a cause of medial misogyny (which is real and well-studied) where doctors simply blame symptoms from woman patients on their reproductive system.
3. Screening fetuses for possible abortion is another issue. Of course this should only be done with parental consent but there's still a eugenics conversation to be had. I'm all in favor of not subjecting people to a debilitating illness if you don't have to.
