It’s good the test is available.

What I mean is what would justify someone spending $400. The example of pregnancy is not a good one, as someone is better off just monitoring blood pressure (which is already common advice for all expectant mothers) for $100 instead of paying for this test.

I think value based healthcare is more important when people pay themselves.

Since there’s no intervention based on the results, it’s not a good idea for people until the results are actionable.
