Yeah, first they made testosterone "illegal" (even though young men are walking around with it flowing in their veins naturally), and then they handed it over to pharmaceutical companies to overcharge for. lol
Typical govt. holding hands with big pharma AND labs to overcharge you for a medication plus jack up pricing on lab work to "test" for testosterone levels (even though the doctor already knows it's too low after a man reaches a certain age)
The STD test that all the adult testing companies do actually costs less than half of what they are charging. You can go right now and have your doctor write a "standing order" (that's what we did) to the same exact labs that do blood work for the adult testing centers (Lab Corp...they are nationwide).
And like I was saying...anybody that does things in bulk (like the FSC is trying to do, or AIM did, or Talent Testing Service does) gets a big discount. So they should have been able to negotiate a price around $30 or less.
But yet they keep charging $120 and up. (and then "drawing fees" for people in other states).
It's a total ripoff to pay people a salary at the FSC and TTS, etc.
Meanwhile you have talent that is living week to week. And the main concern is male talent. And they are the lowest paid with the most hardship.
