Day after demoralizing day, Dr. Doug Lefton watched uninsured patients leave his office needing laboratory tests but unlikely to have them done because of the cost.

"It's a little heartbreaking when you have someone in your office and they need a blood test and they won't do it because they can't afford it," Lefton, 56, said.

That is good information in these times today! Now if more people would get on board with that and lower our costs. Whatever happened to the doctors taking their own X-rays and reading them themselves and running blood test, urine tests and getting the results in their own office. Now everything is set out of the doctors office to be done and that drives up the cost.
