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.'"

    Purely speculation until you can provide absolute proof. And, Bush is still in office; so, somehow I doubt the proof exists. Last I checked, that sort of act is impeachment worthy.
