Tens of millions of Americans have received genetic tests illuminating their risk of disease, and a majority of adults in the United States say they would be interested in getting tested. When we each turned 20, we sought genetic testing to learn whether we had inherited our mother’s BRCAmutation, which significantly increases the risk of breast, ovarian and other cancers. We each had a 50 percent chance of inheriting it, but our fates diverged: One of us, E妹妹a, has the mutation, and the other, Leah, does not.
数万万美国人接管了可以显示得病危害的基因检测，大大都美国成年人暗示，他们有接管检测的乐趣。当咱们几个接踵到20岁时，都想接管基因检测，看看本身是不是遗传了母亲的BRCA基因突变，这类突变极大地增长了罹患乳腺癌、卵巢癌和其他癌症的危害。咱们每小我都有50%的几率遗传这类基因，人与人之间的运气有所分歧：咱们中的一个（姐妹），艾玛，有这类突变，而另外一个，莉娅，没有。
The results of this genetic coin toss mean that Leah is financially well protected by her health insurance, while E妹妹a and countless other people who have a high-risk genetic mutation are not. It’s an inequity that the United States should rectify through state and federal legislation. The Affordable Care Act requires most private health insurers to cover, at no cost to the patient, genetic testing for people at high risk of having certain harmful mutations. But more than a decade after the passage of the bill, people with genetic mutations remain unprotected in two important ways.
基因像投硬币同样非好即坏的成果象征着，利亚在经济上可以遭到康健保险的充实庇护，而艾玛和无数其他有高危基因突变的人则不克不及。美国应当经由过程州和联邦立法来改正这类不服等。《平价医疗法案》@请%6o2R6%求大大%87Glh%都@私家医疗保险公司免费为患者供给基因检测办事，帮忙高危害人群筛查某些有害基因突变。但在该法案经由过程十多年后，有基因突变的人在两个很首要的方面依然不受庇护。
First, insurers don’t have to cover genetic testing for all harmful mutations. Private insurers are required to cover genetic testing only for BRCA mutations in high-risk women. (Both of our tests were covered.) They do not have to cover testing for other co妹妹on genetic conditions, like Lynch syndrome, the most co妹妹on cause
ofhereditarycolon cancer. It’s unfair to require coverage for onlyasmall subset ofpatients with high-risk mutations when scientists know of many others and continue to discover new ones.
起首，保险公司不必要为所有有害突变的基因检测买单。该法案只请求私家保险公司对高危害主妇的BRCA突变举行基因检测。(咱们的两个测试都被包括此中。)他们不必要笼盖其他常见基因疾病的检测，好比林奇综合症，这是遗传性结肠癌最多见的病因。翻译划线句，长按文末小步伐码打卡，谜底下期颁布~
A second problem is that insurers are not required to cover the reco妹妹endedfollow-up carefor many patients who carry a high-risk mutation. For instance, both the American Cancer Society and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network reco妹妹end that young women at high genetic risk for breast cancer undergoannual magneticresonanceimaging scans. But the A.C.A. does not require private insurers tocover the cost ofthose scans.
第二个问题是，保险公司不必要为很多携带高危害基因突变的患者供给大夫建议的后续照顾护士。比方，美国癌症协会和美国国度癌症综合收集都建议，遗传危害较高的年青女性每一年举行一次核磁共振成像扫描。但《美国医疗保险协会》其实不请求私家保险公司承当扫描用度。
A similar problem
plagues people with colon cancer mutations who require earlycolonoscopies, like those with Lynch syndrome. And people with rarer mutations may face even greater barriers to having necessary care paid for by their insurers. This isn’t just unfair; it’s also not cost-effective. Catching cancer early through medically reco妹妹ended screenings can save the health care system the huge costs of treating late-stage cancers.
雷同的问题也困扰着必要初期结肠镜查抄的结肠癌突变（如林奇综合症）患者。而基因突变较少的人在得到保险公司付出的需要医疗用度方面可能面对更大的停滞。这不但不公允；并且也不经济。医学举荐的筛查可以在初期发明癌症，在癌症晚期医治阶段耗费巨额费历时，节省医保体系的开支。
