7/ The UK bought rapid tests in large volume. They negotiated down the price to less than $2 per test. Why can't we do that?!? When you make resources easily, consistently available, for free -- be that vaccines or rapid tests -- the demand will follow.pic.twitter.com/BvSgeFVni2

USG invested billions of taxpayer dollars into test companies to develop, validate, build facilities, scale production, & DPA prioritize supply chain to have these tests. Americans have already paid a hefty price, why should they pay even more to get tested? @politico @davidalim

We have to get over our pharmacy protocol: patients pay for pills one bottle at a time (oral meds). Even in USA, in the hospital, when we hang each bag of IV medication, we don't ask the patient to produce his/her credit card each time.

It is this caricature of bean counter capitalism that leads to the stupid approach of asking patients to beg for reimbursement from insurance co. for each COVID-19 test.
