> ...failures like Theranos...

I thought Theranos was still operating.

They shut down the draw center in PA, but they still have a lab running and draw centers in AZ aren't they?

It seems like the Wall Street Journal is writing a piece about a small adjustment by Theranos because of the understandably bad optics for their partner in PA.

Theranos is trying to innovate in a space where you cannot even ask how much a service costs.

Personally, I would go to Theranos if they just ran all the same tests as everyone else because they post their prices.

Searches on http://www.sunriselab.com/ and http://questdiagnostics.com/home.html show no prices at all.

Yes, Theranos was supposed to be based on a new technology (which may still work out in the long run), but just being customer focused would be disruptive in this industry.
