Urinalysis
 
I am in agreement with Ms. Keswick regarding the need for lab charges for urine testing each time a needed prescription has to be refilled. Who can afford this? I am State employee with insurance and wpykd struggle to make these payments monthly in addition to the cost of the medications. I cannot imagine how a lot of people without insurance or low paying jobs could manage. I think someone needs to reconsider this issue.
