I thought testing was supposed to be free. Wtf
Exactly! The president said anybody can get one and it was free. I guess he lied again. No surprise.
Yes, any billionaire can get the test for free
he didn’t its our county. they need to open the state b ack up
I thought it was free also until i just read they charge 150 for the test
It’s a damn shame people are being charged for Covid 19 testing
I got mine at Liberty and l wasn’t chared
Di you have calm and reserve spot for testing or were you able to just drive through?
Bernie Sanders’ proposed Medicare for All would take care of all of that. Testing would be free to all.
You poor poor commies.
Before you blame Trump, maybe you should take note of who you paid (like the city or department giving the test). That’s who is making money off the tests. But no you poor SHEEPLE keep blaming Trump. I’m sure it broke your hear to cash your stimulus (Trump) checks. BLESS YOUR LITTLE HEARTS.
