President Bush Signs Genetic Nondiscrimination Act

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.'"

First time Bush has posted something sane.

Waste of legislation.

Those ATTTACAGATTAC ers deserve to be discriminated against.

What were they thinking?

Gina? Please tell me it isn't administered by the VA...

Balony. As usual for Bush, this is pure self-interest. He knows that he'd never make the cut.

That's because he thought it was the Genetic Nondiscrimination in America Act, and you know what he got when he searched the web for GNAA ...

No, they did not discover the gene for making stupid racist remarks,

As someone who happens to possess that gene, through no fault of my own, let me just say that I'm glad at what Bush is doing to keep those Jew-owned insurance companies from discriminating against me.

I just wish that they had passed a version of this in Virginia first...after all, who wouldn't vote for the VA GINA?

Here in the US, I think life is seen as the moment Jesus strikes his magical staff and says it is so, or at least, that's what they tell us. With each medical advance, it is apparently discovered he does this earlier and earlier in the process.
