> Because Natera's test [for pre-natal Down syndrome] is better than its competitors' products, the company charges more.
That is, instead of eliminating the older, more invasive diagnostic procedures and making the world a better place for all of humanity, Natera instead opted to charge extra for it (regardless of how much it actually costs to them) because they know people will pay more for it, and Sequoia is celebrating this and championing it as an example to be followed.
This is the kind of greedy capitalist bullshit that gets L'Internationale playing in my head.
