I remember 23&Me doing that and then being stopped by the Feds. That had to happen under the Bush Administration or even the early days of the Obama Administration.

Back in the day, if you got one of those tests done, health insurances were likely to either dropped you and/or raise your rates because you become a patient with a "pre-existing" condition. Now, this all happen before that kind of shit became illegal under the ACA.

I think it was 2013. I bought my mother a kit as a gift. Now I wish I had gotten us all the kits so we'd have that information.

The CBO has their report out on the new Healthcare bill and it doesn't look good:
The Republicans’ effort to pass their proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act just got a whole lot harder.

The Congressional Budget Office on Monday projected that the House leadership’s American Health Care Act would result in 24 million Americans losing their health insurance while raising premiums for those covered on the individual market. Their bill would lower federal deficits by $337 billion over 10 years, largely as a result of cuts to Medicaid that would reduce its enrollment by 14 million, according to the estimate. Average premiums would rise by as much as 20 percent in 2018 and 2019 before falling in later years.

CBO is the official nonpartisan scorekeeper of legislation on Capitol Hill, and its projections on the impact of policy proposals can determine whether they have the political momentum to pass the House and Senate. But they are rarely a surprise, and both parties had telegraphed in recent days how they thought the score would turn out.

I am going to post this on Fife's thread about this topic as well.

Want to see Madonna arrested for threatening President Trump, here's your chance to weigh in.
Currently the petition has 24, 680 sigs, +/-. At 25,000 they are sending it to the DOJ.

Sure, start the petition.
I'm indifferent. Frankly most of these celebrities aren't worth the effort. They are best ignored.
However, can we ignore obvious violations of the law?
