Health Care Reform is underway - please support those with genetic conditions. This petition includes the following:



1.  Group and individual health care plans must cover any preexisting conditions.



2. Premiums for health care plans shall not be rated based upon health status, gender, genetic status or claims experience.



3. Free market programs must prevail but all Americans must have access to the same kind of meaningful choices of health benefits plans that Members of Congress, as Federal employees, enjoy through the Federal employee health benefit program.
