(Of course, it was always possible to calculate how tragically overweight you were in the privacy of your own home.) But a proliferation of do-it-yourself health-care products has changed all that, transforming millions of homes into virtual laboratories. Using largely inexpensive kits bought over the counter at pharmacies, consumers can now test themselves for glucose level, blood in the stool, urinary tract infections, blood pressure, pregnancy and, in an imminent new option, cholesterol level.] There's a very important shift of medical technology out of the hospital and into the home, ...

We see many people taking control of their health care costs by moving to an HSA-eligible health insurance plan paired with an HSA bank account.

This approval is the result of a tremendous cooperative effort among FDA, other public health agencies, the test kit manufacturers and the blood industry.
