Just to be clear, the recent issues in the news had absolutely nothing to do with the DNA companies themselves. It was a 3rd party DNA matching service (if you're referring to the recent arrests of the zodiac killer). You have to physically upload your DNA information to the site and it is a shared with other users. The DNA companies released nothing to police. It was the person who downloaded their DNA profile and uploaded it later that was responsible for not reading the fine print.
I have never read anything concrete about the fears people have brought up about doctor treatment refusals because of potential preexisting conditions and such. Even just a bit of research into the matter shows that the portion of DNA tested is tiny. A YouTube channel, smarter everyday actually addressed the questions with scientists at one of the major companies. His answers made a lot of sense. (I personally did not do any of the health info portions. So that may be something different.)
