New fortune at the end of your urethra...
Companies that set up urine testing labs breathlessly pitch how lucrative the business can be: “15 samples per day could yield $800,000 in profit!”

It is amazing .. that how companies without really innovating , are able to capture enormous rents ..
Nothing in those tests are new .. what is new is a requirement that health insurance cover drug rehab .. this has led to a skyrocketing prices for testing given the number of drug addicts ..
So a measure meant to help addiction has turned in to a gold mine for drug testing ..
THIS IS WHY YOU NEED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE ..or at least single payer who can put these bloody leeches in their fucking places..
