It has been difficult to get the COVID swab kits from LabCorp or Quest in our area of Central Florida. Now I think I know why. LabCorp just announced a program to send home nasopharyngeal swab kits to any patient who requests them directly by signing up on their website. The patient has to pay $119 upfront, most insurances will reimburse $50 or less. It is the national labs' version of the $10 paper mask rip off, to victimize panicked people.
It is nice to see Americans pulling together to support each other during the pandemic. Not only big companies like the national labs, also those mega businesses and organizations like Harvard University, ShakeShack and Ruth Chris Steakhouse who used their relationships with the banks to jump ahead of the small businesses and soak up millions of dollars of Paycheck Protection Program funds, leaving the small businesses to go broke.
Wow, I am not a fan of his, but was Bernie ever right about American Big Business.
