He said "unselected patients". The point is, some random guy with no preexisting condition might not actually benefit from being able to measure shit in his blood more easily. It could mostly lead to false positives, stress, and unnecessary costs. The only way to know for sure would be to do a study on it... but Theranos doesn't seem to like doing studies.
Making blood tests faster and cheaper would definitely be a good thing, but it's possibly not a completely transformative thing.
