Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

On May 21, 2008, the United States implemented the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which protects citizens against discrimination in healthcare and employment based upon their genetic makeup. This is a new frontier in employment protection. Based upon your review of the GINA Web site, post a message to the Discussion in which you delineate the basic provisions of the GINA legislation, and expand upon the potential implications of the provisions for human resource management of the provisions. Think broadly, addressing such topics as workplace discrimination, health insurance costs, and confidentiality issues.
