The justification for laws prohibiting genetic discrimination in health insurance is not at all clear. Neither privacy protection, the distinctive features of health insurance, nor the distinction between presymptomatic genetic tendencies and actually manifested disease provide a justification, although certain practical considerations may justify these laws.
禁止医疗保险中基因歧视的法律依据根本不明确。隐私保护、医疗保险的独特特征,以及症状前基因倾向与实际显现疾病之间的区别,都无法为此提供依据,尽管某些实际考量可能为这些法律提供正当理由。
