  So what do American do in this case?
  Test costs $1300 for people who don't have insurance.
  For people with insurance, some companies said they will cover the cost of the test but not the treatment.

  This is really unbelivable for us who have universal healthcare.

  Is USA really going to watch their citizens die because they dont have money?
  Or is there an exception for this case because it's a pandemic?

  • replace "people" and "citizens" with "consumers" and you'll have your answer_niko
  • test will be "free of charge". covid related healthcare will not be covered so those without insurance will have to incur significant debt.dorf
  • TEST IS NOT TREATMENT FFSmonospaced
  • Treatment is rest and fluids. This isn’t a big killer. Stop acting like it is. That is the biggest problem right now ffs.monospaced
  • ^ LOL.
    I'm sure all the people in the at-risk groups will be heartened by your sound conclusion.Continuity
  • treatment could be hospitalized and placed in a respirator, in that case its not just fluid and rest...Nutter
  • I’m referring to the part about watching Americans die. It’s not a killer it’s a bad flu.monospaced
  • The test will confirm a case but at that point treatment in a hospital is only good for the at risk groups.monospaced
  • Tell me what you think of this, Mr It's a Bad Flu:
