Been There asked:


There already is GINA (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act), so health insurers and employers may not use our DNA against us.

But we leave traces of DNA all over – drinking glasses, silverware, etc. Anyone can test it, for any reason, even for research.

Should there be regulations? (and look at the “Ads” on this page!)

A top economist for the Federal Reserve said they “assumed everyone makes good on the contracts”. They soon learned that wasn’t true…….which makes you wonder what else they’re assuming.

The risks of these below-the-radar insurance policies became abundantly clear last September with the collapse of investment banker Lehman Brothers and global insurer American International Group , both major swap dealers. Their insolvencies threatened to zero out the value of billions of dollars in contracts held by banks and others.

Until then, “we assumed everyone makes good on the contracts,” said Vincent Reinhart , a former top economist for the Federal Reserve Board .

med_student_hopefull asked:


My fiance and I were engaged in May 2007, we are planning to get married in October 2008. In October 2007 he was diagnosed with cancer– both of us being college students, he is still covered under his parent’s insurance. If we get married in October and he can no longer be covered by his parent’s insurance– what are our options? Is there a way for him to take over his current coverage??
