Spek, please read DGX report before speculating. You are wrong on the employer drug testing, it is rather small part of DGX business (<20%). It is rather tough to verify your second claim (independent practitioners), however, hospital labs specifically outreach to independent practitioners to send people to them and I've seen some anecdotal confirmation of independents choosing hospital labs. ;) On the bright side, not all hospitals are predatory and some have outsourced their labs to DGX. The question is which way the winds going to blow in the future. :)
