pending before the U.S. Senate. It would put limitations on employers and
insurers accessing genetic information and instituting discriminatory
practices based on its use. Who wouldn’t support this bill?

Why Senator Coburn who claims on his website
that one of his top priorities is access to health care that’s who.

While this bill passed 420-3 a few months ago in the House (an extremely
rare bipartisan showing particularly in this Congress)Senator Coburn has
put a hold on the bill in the Senate preventing it from coming to the floor
of the Senate for a vote despite overwhelming bipartisan support in that
chamber. So much for fulfilling his promise to constitutents. It just goes
to show its politics as usual for Senator, oops, I mean Dr. Coburn!
