[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you know if your insurance will cover it? And who is your insurance carrier (if they will)? My mother developed breast cancer in her late 40s, her sister had it, my grandmother, and my grandmother's sister. I'm likely going to get the genetic test, because like you I would be totally fine with an elective double masectomy. However, I am a little worried about two things: 1. If I test positive for the gene, that will be a "preexisting condition" and I could lose potential insurance coverage for it in the future, should the freaking Republicans repeal the health care law making those practices illegal 2. Covering the cost of the surgery, if my insurance declines it because it is elective. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on these issues, since it sounds like you've given this a lot of thought already. [/quote]
