Don Moffitt’s Anti-Genetic Testing Discrimination Idea Passed by Congress

Back in the 1990’s, when genetic testing was being talked about, State Rep. Don Moffitt, a Republican from Galesburg, decided that its results should not be used for insurance purposes.

He passed legislation to that effect.

One of our colleagues was Judy Biggert of Hinsdale, who went on to be elected to Congress.

I read last week that Biggert had basically gained United States House approval of Moffitt’s idea.

It was hailed as the first major civil rights legislation of the 21st century.

Congratulations, Don!

Congressman Ron Paul, the Republican who ran a libertarian campaign for the GOP nomination for president was the only negative vote.
