> There are laws against insurers citing preexisting conditions to deny coverage, and most DNA is equivocal as to whether you’ll develop expensive maladies.

In the US, those laws have been under persistent attack by Republicans since enactment, and there hasn't been a major election cycle where its repeal wasn't a campaign dog whistle[1].
