H.R.1313 - Preserving Employee Wellness Programs Act

Cleverly titled to make it sound like it's beneficial to employees.

But the new bill, sponsored by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C if passed into law, would make it clear that employers who offered wellness programs, and require genetic testing as part of them, can legally charge workers who refuse the tests a higher price for health insurance than workers who accept the test.

CNBC: Your boss could demand you get genetic testing and hand over the results, if this congressional bill becomes law
Mercury News - Employees who decline genetic testing could face penalties under proposed bill

I read about this bill proposed in the House of Representatives, introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C.

I work for ---------, a big proponent of so called Employee Health programs. --------- has required participation, or the employee receives penalties, for years now. They do nothing to promote health, they are only a test --------- hopes we will fail, so that we have to pay even more for our health insurance.

Before the 'Employee Health Programs', before the High Deductible Health Insurance, Employees at --------- had good coverage. Now it's almost like having nothing at all.

I do not think the Federal Government should allow 'Employee Health Programs', let alone legislate to give the corporation even more power.

When this comes your way, please vote against it.

John
