To quote jacquesm and MisterBastahrd: "No, it's considered voluntary. Except that if you don't comply with the voluntary wellness program you will end up with a steep financial penalty.
In other words, it's mandatory." "There's no difference between 'voluntary' and 'mandatory' if the penalty for not doing the 'voluntary' thing is so harsh that you can't afford to refrain." -- You're right, there's nothing in this bill that explicitly forces your insurer to sequence your genome in the first place. HOWEVER, if a wellness program asked for your genome, and you denied it, then you would incur a heavy penalty. This is new. |
