U.S. Senate bill bans discriminatory use of genetic information

Everyone feel better now?

"Insurance companies would be barred from using people's genetic information or family histories to deny medical coverage or set premiums under a bill passed 95-0 by the Senate on Tuesday. "

"But Dr. Donald Young, president of the Health Insurance Association of America, said the bill, while well-intentioned, is "unwise" because consumers are already adequately protected. "

It still has to pass the House, though.
