Health Care

Woman dropped out of Stanford and founded a health care research company with her tuition money. Now she's invented a way to perform 30 medical tests on one drop of blood, costing a fraction of government testing.

"With that they can perform hundreds of tests, from standard cholesterol checks to sophisticated genetic analyses. The results are faster, more accurate, and far cheaper than conventional methods."

That's more than 30. This is why the government wants people to stay in government schools, and it's why it hates the private sector.

"The company plans to charge less than 50 percent of the standard Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates. And unlike the rest of the testing industry, Theranos lists its prices on its website: blood typing, $2.05; cholesterol, $2.99; iron, $4.45. If all tests in the US were performed at those kinds of prices, the company says, it could save Medicare $98 billion and Medicaid $104 billion over the next decade."

Our rulers will haul this woman up on phony charges to shut her operation down. They can run hundreds of tests, but only 30 per sample. Only.

Blood test predicts Alzheimer's, but because of government, you won't be able to get it for a long time. The test test fats, which makes sense because the brain is made almost entirely of fats.
