    Yes, this. Just make rapid tests cheap. Or distribute them in workplaces and schools for free. Adding paperwork isn’t the same as making it cheap or accessible.https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1466478825664094210 …

    You're going to make people file claims for their at-home tests? Or have a pharmacist take insurance information for the sale? Or have people order them through an insurance company portal? What a hassle, just subsidize the tests directly.

        Yeah disadvantaged people working in high exposure jobs are really going to benefit from this program. Why not just send tests directly to people who request them?

        Good progress! I really want to see the price get down to $2 per test. I can dream, right?

        Remove all barriers by having them in retail for $0.50 each. If they are available in all supermarkets and pharmacies and cheap, that gives access to the entire country. A nominal charge ensures they won't be wasted.

        It's like parking apps. Happy to pay a buck on a parking app when it would have been a quarter in the meter, because it saves me from keeping track of quarters. I'd rather pay $5 for a test than pay "zero" with the hassle of insurance paperwork.

        Vienna, Austria: I can do free PCR- and Antigen tests in every pharmacy + dozens of test containers. Or get (and drop off) free PCR gargle tests for home use (webcam controlled) in every supermarket. All school kids are tested 3 times a week.https://allesgurgelt.at/en/wien/

        Rapid test should be falling from the sky. I should walk out my door and trip over a rapid test.
