Although every laboratorian knows that clinical diagnosis is made for at least 70% by laboratory data, and in some cases of molecular tests also 100%, this concept is not clear to the majority of politicians who try to save money only by reducing the number of tests available, without taking into consideration their informativeness and usefulness; in one word: appropriateness.
The reduced budget in many cases prevents the achievement of an early diagnosis only because the appropriate test is expensive, without considering that such expensive cost could be amortized by a reduced length of stay in hospital.
