Pretty neat stuff. They test 250 markers and basically check for everything using blood alone. Too bad it costs $3,400. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Interesting. Though I'm not sure I could stand to find out that I have *another* serious disease.

When you're talking about medical care, $3400 really isnt all THAT much. Only problem is that they said that most insurance plans won't cover it.

would be nice if it wasn't so expensive (or if insurance covered it). isn't there some "full body scan" thing they can do that can reveal a lot too? prob another one of those mega expensive items though.

What sickens me is the reason that insurance companies won't cover this is greed. They know that preventitive care will save lives in the long run and that they lose money without procedure costs. Just ticks me off. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

One of the best arguments for socialized healthcare, but that's the subject of a whole different thread.
