Support GINA’s Implementation
Express your support for the prompt implementation of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), and for the interim final rule implementing provisions of the law that will take effect on December 7, 2009.
On October 1, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury released an interim final rule that implements the health insurance provisions of GINA. Join the Coalition for Genetic Fairness and diverse stakeholders in the health community as we call on the agencies with regulatory responsibility for GINA to oppose proposals to weaken the rule by exempting employer-based wellness programs from GINA’s protections, and to proceed with GINA’s prompt implementation.
To sign on in support, please email your organization’s name to Vafa Talishli, vtalishli@geneticalliance.org, by close of business this Wednesday, November 18.
