Yes. Cause they reimburse them. Not any Joe shmo can start a testing lab you moron.The government doesn't "authorize" labs. Hell, testing centres have popped up across the nation like Starbucks stores. You think the government is controlling and "authorizing" them. They license them on the basis of qualifications - not on the basis of some nebulous government criteria you have yet to link to.
Either you have a "for profit free market medical establishment complex' or you have a government managed system, which is it Mr. Business Consultant?
I spent my entire working life dealing with government licensing regulations, on both sides of the border. Our patent and trade mark applications, IP protections were all done through the USA because you have the broadest protections which are recognized worldwide. Private labs are run according to standard business criteria.
I wouldn't provide testing services for any right wing media covid denier either. I'd be worried about what lies they'd be broadcasting about my lab when they were finished. There's much better publicity denying these assholes a test than I would giving them the test and having them trash me on Hannity or Candace Owens shows.
These people have proven over and over again that they will lie to suit their own agenda, so I wouldn't want to subject my business to their tactics or their politics.
