Great news, but it doesn't really protect CFers much. Right now, when you have two genes, you have CF. And that is a disease diagnosis. <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>It also makes clear that, while individuals are protected from discrimination based on genetic predisposition, insurance companies still have the right to base coverage and pricing on the actual presence of a disease.</end quote></div>

Agreed Heather. We need bill that stops Health Insurance companies from totally gouging or outright denying those with "pre-existing conditions." Unfortunately this particular bill won't help us on that front...although yes, it is a step in the right direction.
