    Just a reminder: the person driving this effort is Virginia Foxx. You may remember her from HR 1313 which was a bill she pushed for that would allow health insurance companies access to your DNA to change your premiums.

If it had passed it would have hollowed out GINA by allowing employers to terminate based solely on possible hirer premiums.
