They’re using covid as an excuse to gain greater control over health insurance.

They’re not increasing access to improve public health.

They’re increasing access to goose the number of positives up in order to keep the scamdemic going.

One aspect to this....when we come to October and the period where the new rates are released for 2023 health insurance, there’s going to be ‘sticker-shock’ to come up and you will be paying 15-to-20 percent more for your yearly heath coverage. Even if you don’t get a single at-home Covid test kit....you are going to be paying for the people in your insurance bracket who did get 350 kits for their family.

Apparently so. Or at least he thinks he can do it. Screw up and NOT order a billion tests and then come back and say, “well, you guys pay for them now” isn’t a plan that comes from a healthy mind. It is a cop out plan from a “get off my lawn” mind.

“Free tests”? Do the Democrats realize that people who buy health insurance end up paying? Are they not capable of grasping the idea that nothing is “free”?

Good luck ever finding one if demand stays the way it is and the insurance companies are forced to pay for them.

Nothing is free. Besides, they can’t cover the cost of something that doesn’t exist. Thanks, Brandon. You were warned back in October that COVID tests were going to be in short supply, and you did your usual nothing.

No doubt Fauci and his minions own considerable amount of stock in the suppliers of the kits.

We have an EMPEROR!!!

Just declared that private insurances must change their business to suit him. I think he did this to try to fix the SCOTUS problem, ie that the mandates were unconstitutional. This is the offered alternative to try not to bankrupt workers and businesses that don’t comply. Problem is, the order is unconstitutional, forcing himself into a private contract.

This will force the price of health care coverage way up!! Rates will rise another 20-30% for employers. Along with the inflation, nobody will be able to afford insurance soon. Every time government messes with health care the costs skyrocket and the services shrink.

I am hopeful that a SCOTUS judge would be smart enough to see that unconstitutional order to fix an unconstitutional mandate is still Ann unconstitutional.

Are the tests ‘free’ for those on Medicare? Who pays for that?

Why do you need a "test" to tell if you are sick? When we're sick, we all know it.

Meanwhile the VA has stopped testing all veterans, just those enrolled in “VA Healthcare”. 9,000,000 vets left out in the cold.

Too bad Brandon didn’t make sure there were enough tests ordered.

Incompetent boob.

If somebody’s got to pay for it, it’s not free.

There currently are no tests available that Biden has ordered the insurance companies to pay for because Biden did not fund the plan back in October to get companies to produce the tests. You can’t make this stuff up.
