Questions on 23and me

[ronn]

I have noticed in several responses,from others of our group, that the 23and me program is referred to as "free" to participants. In small print, in several places in the information, it lists a minimum charge of $99. On the Information sheet it states,"For as little as $99, plus $9 a month, "----- (you can find out about your ancestry).

Am I missing something?

For those in the USA:

My neuro made a comment that one problem with DNA testing is that Insurance Companies could use the information to decide your condition was "pre existing".

Isn't that illegal now with the health care reform ?

[Hidden in reply to PatV]

I don't know of anyone who has read the entire law...so guess it is just a wait and see.

Mine cost $25 when it first started. Now they want money to see "locked" risk factors.
