The AARP has announced that they have filed a lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in response to the new wellness program rules released in May. They are concerned that the high incentives that are being offered to employees are not leaving them with any other option than to participate and release private medical information to their employers. This raises concerns over whether having that information known to their employers will cost them more money in the future. The AARP is particularly concerned about the effect on older workers, who generally have more health problems.
