Since the Affordable Care Act, it seems to be cheaper to forego COBRA benefit and enroll in one of the offered options. Lost of job let you do so outside of the official enrolment period.
So nothing yet to replace HN in our heart.

A: About 2 to 3 hours to do the testing, but because the process requires us to batch samples, you can't really just test the sample as they come in. In order to conserve reagents and labor, you' wait until you have a certain bolus of samples and then test them together. So you do testing once or twice a day.
