    "the Fortune mag article on her-
    dropped out college at 19 to start her business and is a billionaire. She is Dagny "
    Yes!
    I love the whole story.
    She comes off as if it never occurred to her to be arrogant or to bellyache about all the difficulties one must overcome to become a billionaire.
    I like the way the host spent two minutes asking her why she isn't looking for equity funding. She kept saying she wants to grow organically. The finance world expects her to take it public, and then they'll find a CEO experienced with larger organizations. Instead she's staying with it, keeping her equity, and growing organically. Way to go for this CEO/founder..

    Agreed. When government determines healthcare is a right... all medical advances will soon be thought of as public property. Sickening.

    yes, and easy on the eyes to boot. let's hope her patents aren't revoked as medical diagnostic patents are facing in the current environment

    Awesome! Truly affordable healthcare advancement brought to you by a private individual/private sector... the antithesis of Obamacare.

    I always imagined Dagny as a soprano, not a bass.
    Not a criticism, I was just startled by how low her voice is.
    She appears to have accomplished a great deal in the medical testing industry.

    Wow! Amazing. A drop of blood...no huge needles. I like that she skirted about going public too.... wants to keep it private.

    The Fortune Mag article is really something. What a brain. I do fear for her though... the government wolves will be at her door soon. :(
