At home Covid tests costing between $7-30 each in the US. The FDA recommending you use three tests if you test negative. The government offering sporadic handfuls of free home tests per household; each household is determined by address. Have roommates? Have a big family? Homeless? Fuck you. "Get free tests from Health Co. inc. (TM)!" with the fine print "we'll bill your insurance." Having to travel to get a PCR test; hope you don't have to take a crowded bus or train for 40+ min each way. Hope it doesn't cost a $40 ride share fare. Hope you can get there at all. A PCR test being free only if you have insurance in the state you're getting the test, otherwise it's $150 per test. Hope you didn't lose your job. Hope you still qualify for Medicaid. Hope there wasn't a filing error, a missed phone call, an unfair means test, a confusingly worded webpage or document. Hope your job offers health insurance and paid sick days to part time workers, to people who haven't worked there for more than 6 months. Hope you've worked enough days to earn a single sick day. Hope you can earn sick days at all.
