Tinfoil Hat Wearers Unite

[Taco Loco]

If you were given a DNA test kit for Christmas, would you do it? And do you think you could compromise your kids genetic information against insurance companies in the future?

In 2008, The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was passed, which technically makes it illegal for health insurance providers to change your coverage based on genetic information. This law doesn’t, however, apply to disability insurance, long-term care insurance, or life insurance. Indeed, DNA discrimination from insurance companies remains a top concern in this arena. Having access to this information could cause them to raise rates and alter your coverage.

Well I guess you didn’t bother to read the two articles I posted above, again I’m thinking about how it may help in protecting my boys from possible insurance discrimination and marketing, because we’re not doing what’s “TRENDING”.

Your DNA, or your kids presumed DNA is essentially one piece of your credit identity/PII if you want to think of it that way.

it’s not too tight, but it is made out of the heavy duty aluminum foil.

Nope not for me. Already too much personal information out there about each of us. Don’t need our exact genetic make up out there also

No ones taking any of my bodily fluids unless it's forced via court order or I forget to pull out.

Back in the day I did allow a insurance company to harvest my blood but that's back when I was young and dumb. Now I know better.
