When referring to all labs in the USA being "privately-owned," I am, of course, excluding government facilities. BUT...even those facilities employ people who make $ working in this field and so have some interest in the discussions.
Also, due to the fact that MEDICARE is such a big factor in US medical reimbursements, anyone with a Medicare ID who gets paid by the government is, in a sense, a "government" provider. So in this sense, the system is mixed. My post refers specifically to non-government labs. (with the understanding that most everyone bills medicare) AB _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
