FEDS WANT YOU TO DISCLOSE YOUR GENETIC PRIVACY
Lawrenceville, NJ (Dr Simone) – Your health and genetic privacy have been protected from your employer and health insurance companies by four Acts of Congress: The American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the Health Insurance and Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA), the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) and the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA).
But a bill moving through the House of Representatives will force you to disclose your genetic and health-related privacy that is collected in workplace wellness programs (Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act, H.R.1313 — 115th Congress (2017-2018); https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1313). This Bill will allow employers to pressure employees to disclose private information and wellness programs could give more private information to employers. Employers will be able to ask employees to disclose their research information to wellness programs – and penalize them for refusing.
There are genetic tests for more than 10,000 health conditions. If this Bill (HR 1313) passes, Congress will have betrayed Americans once again and Americans will fear discrimination and not get genetic tests that might save their lives, and not take part in vital research studies that could be lifesaving. Our Health Advantage Program is confidential and will promote health ( MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/make-america-healthy-again/).
Let your elected officials know that you do not want them to vote for this.
