    Do you think any/all individual medical information should be completely private?

    Yes. Pregnancy status and menstrual cycles are also considered medical information. Thus, whether someone is pregnant and why is nobody’s business.

    Should public servants need to publicly disclose health issue?

    No. But they should be required to pass reasonable mental and physical acuity assessments administered by a board of qualified, unbiased, randomly selected physicians as a condition of holding office.

      Pretty reasonable. Plenty of jobs require pre-employment screenings. If I were colorblind or in particularly bad shape I wouldn’t be permitted to work my job. Which I wouldn’t personally class as discrimination.
