Better yet, just buy shares in LabCorp
It's too bad for all the lab techs, phlebs, etc. who'll be losing their jobs. Some may get offers from Quest/LabCorp but eventually things will be scaled down and/or outright eliminated as testing will be centralized in the bigger cities (Seattle in this case). Yet another example of labs outsourcing their testing to take a paycheck leaving a vacuum of unemployed in the area...The thing is clin lab testing is almost always a profitable entity with [reasonable] volume. But, some places are willing to sell out to take a payday rather than for more virtuous reasons such as low volume/too much overhead i.e. most often employee packages. Free market capitalism just doing what it does I suppose...
