Gary and Dee discuss GINA, the Genetic Information Non-Disclosure Act. How will the Republican Health Plan affect this? What are the consequences for people who might have a bad gene? What are the consequences for medical research if people aren’t willing to participate? Other main topic of the week, the “gig economy.” What are the benefits and downsides of being ‘self-employed’ in this new marketplace? What does it cost the individual? What are the potential pitfalls? What happens under the new Republican Health Plan for people who aren’t ‘standardly’ employed?
