The SARS-CoV-2 test is or was $2000 without insurance. And now the private test clinics have it and get to charge whatever they want. In the past, such tests would be provided to the public for free. Instead, the poor and working-poor do without, have to go to work sick because they don't have sick days, and infect more people because they don't have a choice unless they want to lose their jobs, their housing, and become homeless.
