What they don’t say is that doctor’s order lots of tests to confirm what they already know just to cover their butts. We all pay more because of this.

I am also told that, at least in my area, many “independent” testing labs are actually owned largely by the same doctors who send samples to them for testing. Isn’t this an incentive to order unneccessary testing to pad the doctor’s income?
The doc's in my area get a kickback bonus from the local hospitals for all the lab work they send to them.
That being said they are ordering the test because they don't want to get sued and are covering their bases.
