Default Direct to Consumer Labs changing market

This is big news for anyone in the US who wants more control over their health, and save money to boot, but if moderators feel it belongs elsewhere, please move the thread.

The direct to consumer lab market has been growing rapidly since about 2011, and is allowed in all states but four. DirectLabs has excellent service and has saved me $$ over the hospital set lab prices at Duke Healthcare and local doctor offices as well. There are others in this market, SaveonLabs is one to compare package pricing.
The blood draws are done by a nearby LabCorp office...but now LabCorp plans to muscle into the business themselves. "Retake that territory" is the term LabCorp spokesman used. Admittedly, it may result in even lower prices by cutting out the DTC labs. Full article in next post.
