Hey Republicans, guess what, now companies can force you to undergo genetic testing

Say your employer wants you to get a genetic test. You politely decline because you consider it a gross infringement of privacy. Well, too bad—your monthly health insurance payments just spiked 30%.

This could be the reality under HR 1313, the Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act, a House GOP-sponsored bill that would essentially allow companies with workplace wellness programs to demand your genetic information (or force you to pay a big penalty).

The legislation has now passed a House committee on a straight party line vote, reports STAT News, with all 22 Republicans unified in support against 17 Democratic detractors. The bill is expected to be latched on to a second Obamacare-related legislative effort that will be a followup to the main GOP health care plan now working its way through Congress.

Currently, employers with ostensibly voluntary workplace wellness programs can force their workers to pay 30% more (and up to 50% more for smokers) toward their company-provided health insurance benefits if they choose not to participate - provisions that were actually passed as a part of Obamacare and then cemented by the Obama administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The wellness programs typically include basic biometric screenings, access to gym memberships, and health care-related questionnaires.

But two older, milestone laws don't allow these wellness programs to include genetic testing: the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the 2008 Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). These laws bar employers from even asking workers to undergo a genetic test.

Guaranteed, half of you Conservatives will fail these tests.

Enjoy, assholes.

Are you kidding me here???

This is just another load of extreme left CLAP TRAP !!! You are sure making a lot of claims about a "GOP HEALTH PLAN" that has not EVEN been completed much less released for public consumption. Everything that is claimed here is STILTED LIES based on the far left narrative. I'll just bet that the majority of this MISSinformation came from CNN, MS-LSD, The New York Times, or some other purveyor of BULLSHIT. GET A CLUE AND READ SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA MACHINE.

I'll ask one question i have asked before and no one answered it: this new healthcare proposal say it will keep coverage for pre-existing conditions.

but it doesn't specify if it will force the same rate too? Or will pre-existing milk you to the gutter?

If you think that anything the republicans put through will be good for anyone except the already wealthy and their corporate donors, I've got a bridge to sell you. Not in Alaska.

Well, a 30% increase will be completely bearable as opposed to the 400-500% increases in some states that came with OBlame a-Care. That is, if your state still has providers operating. Some don't and have stopped covering people altogether.

Guaranteed,all of you Demo DumbShits won't recognize that as a complete and utter failure. If you keep getting your news from CNN and the NYT as usual, you are likely totally unaware of these things.

Still wonderful government action, just like Jim Crow and many other famous government actions.

Besides what's wrong with wellness programs and genetic testing? Don't you want a healthy workforce for the USA under penalty of law???

Wait, so legalizing something is in your twisted mind the same as outlawing something?

The government allowing something makes them as "big government" as them forbidding something?

The government ALLOWING a corporation to do something isn't PRO-CORPORATE to you?

Just making sure you're THIS big of a fucking idiot. You are now literally arguing that up is down, or in fact there is no such thing as up.

Do you keep an illustrated book on hand to teach you how to breathe?
