President Bush Signs Genetic Nondiscrimination Act

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-paring-based-on-pairing dept.

artemis67 writes "This past week, President Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which would prevent health insurers and employers from discriminating against individuals on the basis of their genetic information. GINA is the first and only federal legislation that will provide protections against discrimination based on an individual's genetic information in health insurance coverage and employment settings.'"

    You might consider the following question:
    How much is $4/gal a price increase, and how much is it a devaluation of the dollar?

    I think it's pretty clear that it's largely a devaluation of the dollar.

    I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
