I just finished reading the blog www.dailykos.com/… about H.B. 1313 up for consideration. This is the one that not only permits, but essentially forces, companies to perform genetic testing on their employees. The blog says everything you need to know but I was inspired by Albabe’s comment about leaving a facebook comment for Rep Foxx. I went ahead and did so, but strongly encourage everyone to do the same. Instead of just a comment, I posted the following as an “endorsement” for this lady.
If you want to have a potential employer force you to undergo any genetic tests they care to run. If you want to have that company have unfettered access to, and use of, that data (even if they DO NOT hire you). If you want them to share that data with anyone else they choose. If you want not only the originating company but any others they share with to use this data to DISCRIMINATE against you. If you want insurance companies to partner with these companies to obtain unrestricted access to this data to deny you coverage or charge you exhorbitantly. If you think this is the America you want forevermore. By all means, endorse this GOP Representative.
