People Avoiding Doctors and Insurance Companies When Getting DNA Tests

Because of fears of data sharing, data loss, and inappropriate disclosure, people are circumventing their doctors and insurance companies when getting DNA tests. Smart people. Can and would they use your DNA results against you? Do credit card companies raise your rates according to unrelated things on your credit report? Do insurance companies raise your rates due to traffic tickets that have little to do with telling how good or safe a driver you are? Like I said, avoiding a record of your DNA is a smart idea. By the way, Gattica is a great movie that describes what a future of DNA discrimination would look like.
