djrogers is misrepresenting the Snopes conclusion about as much as that headline misrepresents the bill. No, your employer can't say “take this test if you want to keep your job” but doubling your premiums isn't too far off of that for many people and removing the restrictions on sharing information with non-healthcare professionals is just asking for abuse.

Snopes specifically says that employers would not be able to demand genetic testing results, while the headline says they would. It's a pretty clear cut case of a false and clickbaity headline.

And the headline - which is specifically what I called out - is overwrought and clickbait because it makes the false claim of 'let employers demand'.
