That would be awesome, if they do atleast 2% as good as they have at keeping up with all the other non-discriminatory laws that already have that are walked around all day long every day. I dont think it will be much longer, before everyone is forced by law to submit to mandatory DNA profiling at birth. But I would guess that somewhere in the 9674 pages of fine print, something completely ignorant would be hidden, that says you can be denied, refused, what ever, because, in there fine print,it says that you are only allowed to pick your nose in rush hour traffic,on the 3rd Monday of each month, between 3:45 and 3:59 pm, or we hold the right to refuse, restrict, or deny any or all of anything we have above agreed to pay for on your behalf as your provider. Wacko
