Politico Ad Underscores Key Role of Laboratory Medicine in Health Reform

With the headline,"Lab Tests Were Health Reform Before Health Reform Was Cool," RFL again published an advertisement in a Capitol Hill newspaper emphasizing how laboratory medicine is a critical element in achieving the goals of health reform. The full page ad ran on May 4 in the widely read Capitol hill newspaper Politico. The ad showed the significant economic savings that can come about through lab testing by citing the high costs of chronic kidney disease versus the low cost of a blood test to identify its early signs. The ad concluded, "America wants a better, more cost-effective healthcare system. Lab tests are already making that brighter future happen today."
