A. life insurers. C. disability insurers.
B. health insurers. D. accident insurers

Could you check my answer please?

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination
Act of 2008 was adopted in May of 2008.
This act is designed to prevent the
discriminatory use of genetic information
by employers and insurers.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act applies to insurers of all types.

Is it possible that all are correct?

Apparently this act applies to only one kind of insurer. Check this summary.

Would it be health insurers?

Yes, I think so. The summary specifically mentions health insurers -- but none of the other kinds of insurers.

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible that all answer choices are correct. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) applies to insurers of all types, including life insurers, health insurers, disability insurers, and accident insurers. GINA prohibits these insurers from using an individual's genetic information to make decisions about eligibility, coverage, or premium rates. Therefore, all of the answer choices you provided could be correct.
