On May 21, 2008 President Bush signed GINA into law, constituting the first federal edict against employers or health insurance companies in obtaining and using genetic information to discriminate against an individual.  Yet the million dollar question remains…. will GINA in all practicality actually protect you?  The answer may prove disappointing to the public.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">watch bones</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 Dec 2009 01:39:19 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: GINA (Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act) Loopholes?</title><link>http://www.thinkgene.com/gina-genetic-information-non-discrimination-act-loopholes/#comment-25954975</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Well i believe that If you or anyone else has a specific complaint regarding the word of the law regarding its coverage of “genetic discrimination” in health insurance, then cite the law.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lasik eye surgery</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:10:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: GINA (Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act) Loopholes?</title><link>http://www.thinkgene.com/gina-genetic-information-non-discrimination-act-loopholes/#comment-25592394</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Genetic discrimination has nothing to do with genetics.
