1Opinion of the Court

*592EBEL, Circuit Judge.

This case requires us to determine whether a non-disabled individual has a cause of action under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 12112(d)(2)(A); when as a job applicant he or she is asked questions regarding his or her medical history or condition on an employment application. We conclude that in light of the language of the statute and the purposes of its enactment, a non-disabled job applicant does have such a cause of action. Consequently, we reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the employer in this case.
