    Because what is being talked about is the "free" test kits (due to forcing insurance companies to add them to coverage policies). Yes, people realize that they pay for premiums, but that's not the issue. The issue is that a number of those people still think that they somehow aren't paying for those kits. What happens is insurance companies raise the premiums for every policyholder, even the ones who don't want anything to do with the test kit coverage. It is yet another example of liberals forcing everyone else to pay for THEIR bullshit that THEY want... THEY should be the ones paying for it, not me. I still end up paying for their bullshit because my insurance premium goes up because it now includes coverage for something that I don't want coverage for.

    It should be up to the insurance provider whether or not they wish to provide coverage for test kits, and policyholders should have the option whether or not they wish to have that particular coverage included in their policy.

    ... that are covered by insurance due to the premiums that are paid.

    I think that the people who want the test kits (and/or test kit coverage in their insurance policies) should pay for it. I think that I shouldn't pay for it because I don't want it.

    QED of liberals pretending not to know things. Why must liberals do this? (rhetorical question) ... I know that you claim you aren't a liberal, but your positions on numerous issues are liberal positions nonetheless.

    MANY people across the States of America are currently being forced (by employers, due to government mandates) to either: [1] Get tested weekly (invasive medical procedure), [2] Get jabbed an indefinite amount of times (invasive medical procedure), or [3] Lose their job (losing their income/livelihood). A number of places aren't even offering the testing option.

    Just because it might not be happening to you directly (at least at this very moment) doesn't mean that it isn't currently happening to a hundred million other people across the States of America (and the oligarchies of New York and California).

    Short answer: Government (especially the Biden Regime) is pushing people.

    Again, NO ONE who pays insurance premiums think a service is free when insurance company pays the claim.

    I am beginning to think you never paid for insurance. Are you on Medicaid?

    LOL

    Or if you work from home. Either way, the mandates are not enforced at this time, but many employers have mandated vaccines going back to early last year.

    I do not agree with federal mandates, just FYI.

    I’m glad you share these views with me. I think if Biden never tried OSHA, half of the discussions on this board about vaccines would not exist.

    Yes, a number of people do, actually.

    I pay for insurance.

    Nope. I'm not eligible.

    To act as if concepts are laughable means that you want to be irrational.

    Maybe in your circles there are people who think $500 per month service is free, even when they see the money disappear from their pay-check.

    I'm afraid they are beyond help.

    Supreme Court halts COVID-19 vaccine rule for US businesses
    The Supreme Court has stopped the Biden administration from enforcing a requirement that employees at large businesses be vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing and wear a mask on the job. At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S. The court’s orders Thursday during a spike in coronavirus cases was a mixed bag for the administration’s efforts to boost the vaccination rate among Americans.

    Force insurance to pay for something. What exactly is the point of that? You people on the Left do realize that will just result in more expensive health insurance rates?
    So you want to force people to pay for the medical care they need. Great job...

    More proof people are stupid imbeciles.

    It's where we are in this country today. The government is pushing and providing a test that is grossly unreliable with false positives in the range of 90%, and the frightened masses are doing their part by using the damn things and pretending they enjoy high public health standards.

    All the tests do is allow the deception and fear to continue. The public is scared silly of a virus with a 99% survival rate. :deadhorse:
