"...once you do this test, you are legally obligated for revealing results to the insurance company you plan to be insured with."

Got a citation for that?

If that's true, then getting a 23andme test could mean price gouging for anyone looking for life insurance, disability insurance or long-term-care insurance. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim...) prohibits employers and health insurance companies from genetic discrimination, but there's a big loophole for other types of insurers to.

+1 for link but no I am sorry no citations I was looking for the same article but I cannot find it. Basically the reasoning behind it was that a DNA test can potentially reveal some information to you about your eventual future diseases. Now when you sign up for life insurance you are legally bind to tell the truth and tell everything you know about your health status. If in some limited scope of course you will get into lawsuit with health insurance company, its possible they subpoena 23andme and get the information you initially had access to. That was the point.
