        does HIPPA not protect workers against release of this information? I can't believe this, thought I was reading satire

        In the medical field we take HIPAA & PHI very seriously. Apparently it's much less important in business world.

        snopes says it's not a mandate; reading HR1313 itself is convoluted, but it seems rather unnecessary given existing law

        30%-50% higher premiums 4 people who don't consent 2 genetic testing + most can't afford that = mandatory 4 most @caburton01 @Atul_Gawande

        that's a fair point. I was pointing out that it's not a legal mandate, tho it could clearly be an economic one

        Horrific and unreal. Like the stuff of a sci/fi thriller. Many turn down genetic tests; don't want to know if no cure/treatmnt

        Don't get me wrong, this is a terrible bill. But there is an option to refuse and pay a (potentially substantial) penalty.
