Medicare slammed for not improving lab-quality rules - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "Some
scientists and consumer health groups are angry that the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has decided
not to write new rules designed to improve the quality of laboratories that perform genetic testing, keeping in place
current guidelines.
'We're very disappointed,' said Rick Borchelt, spokesman for the Genetics and Public Policy Center. 'After years of saying
they were going to do this, they did a complete about-face ... with no justification. We're mystified.' "
