Quest is one of the two major testing companies in the US. (And LabCorp is not much better.)

I understand the sentiment here, but it's like saying "you should definitely try and find and work with a more ethical political party than the [reader's choice: Democrats|Republicans]". Good luck! It's not likely to happen, even if we all wish otherwise.

It looks like those two companies have been buying up competitors left and right for a long time, so no wonder there aren't many other options left out there. Seems like this is an industry that doesn't get a lot of attention, but which is badly in need of oversight and regulation.
