      Yeah, In Canada you can just grab a free box of 5 whenever you want. And when I had Covid I went through 14 tests before I started showing negative.

      The US is ass backwards on this one.

      For the better part of a year or two the Fed was requiring insurance companies to reimburse people for tests they bought, up to 8 a month. It was a pain in the ass, but my wife and I were testing weekly for free back in late 2021.
