Andre Picard writes "But, if genetic tests have been done, they want the results to be disclosed. This seems fair."

No it isn't.  The whopping premium increases for tested individuals will deter many from having the testing done in the first place.

He then goes on to say:  "The CLHIA warns that the law will result in significant hikes in premiums – about 30 per cent more for men and 50 per cent more for women.  This may or may not be fear-mongering. You may or may not trust the insurance industry. That doesn’t matter."

Of course it matters.  And of course it's fear-mongering.

I'm also dismayed to see the headline use the buzzword "virtue-signalling", especially when Picard's column means the opposite - that it will actually have a negative effect on insurance company profits.
