I used to get those reports when 23andme started. They are not allowed to give them for 10+ years now. I m not in the US - we have universal healthcare. Disallowing me to have those reports is almost violating my rights

I’m not sure if it’s still an option but when 23andme first started getting looked at by regulators and shut off the health reporting they allowed you to download all of your raw data. I wish I could remember the name of it but there was a GitHub repo (I think written in Python?) that you could run against your raw data and it would spit out the health results that 23andme withheld.

Yes i have those (from 10+ years ago) and there is also promethease. But the ban still makes negative sense

I mean, it would help my government better plan health care resources and where they're needed. "Ok, this region over here is going to have a lot of cancers, build a treatment clinic there".

You mean like everything governments know about smoking, drug use disorders, poor diet, exposure to environmental toxicants, and how they have used that information with marvelous efficiency? Yep.

No, they will be smart enough to know this is bogus.
Watch out - your insurance company would probably love that too, if they can get their hands on the data.
