The testing framework is worse than a nightmare…the changes do little and make many things actually worse.  We refuse to believe all the conspiracy theories we hear bandied around. This seems to us like the regulatory agencies are letting labs write their own regulations. State and national media organizations are all over this failure of leadership. They see a huge story here with regard to some labs setting the agenda and trying to monopolize an industry under the guise of public safety. We all feel hoodwinked and how we could have allowed a thriving industry that was compliant, transparent and more regulated than any other state to go from a shining beacon on the hill to a dysfunctional land fill is beyond us. Labs took advantage of the situation with no regard for the negative financial impact their thirst for eliminating their competition would have. Minor tweaks that help slightly in some cases and exacerbate others just won’t cut it.
