developing less expensive test?? I seen on the news where 15 year old boy has developed a test for pancreatic cancer that is 26,000 times less expensive than the one we have today. His test is 3 cents per test compared to $800.00 a test. His test is 400% more accurate for pancreatic cancer which is wrong 30% of the time. Another child has invented a charger for cell phones that work in seconds rather than an hour. So does big business know this stuff already with their fancy labs and years of documented knowledge? Are we being scammed at every fucking turn in the road?? How about the kid on Oprah who got out of medical school and found out he had terminal brain cancer. He got a job in a lab and concocted his own treatment drug and is still kicking and being a doctor. Our votes mean nothing.
