Congress close on bill to ban genetic discrimination
There are age discrimination laws on the books and older employees are weeded out of organizations on a daily basis. They are passed up for promotions too.
An employer can always find some other legitimate reason for their actions.
Lawmakers have agreed to make it illegal for employers and insurance companies to deny applicants jobs and health care coverage because DNA tests show they are genetically disposed to a disease.
