Testing Athletes Would Save Lives

Well, given the current health care coverage crisis in the U.S., additional "routine" expensive tests are not likely to be encouraged or covered by health insurance companies. And even if it's recommended, that's possible only if a family is lucky enough to *have* health insurance coverage, and whether the insurance company would approve the test as covered. Otherwise, it would be an out of pocket expense to the parents. So, such studies are all well & good, but the question of how to pay for the tests is tricky.
