most will have no problem doing a test if it means a quick fee-free stop at CVS or Walgreens etc... what we currently have is long lines, scheduling days in advance and no guaranteed turnarounds
I had to take another test today due to a co-worker testing positive on Tuesday. I went to the same location, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, that I have taken one 3 times before over the last year. This is the first time they asked for my insurance information, and if I said I didn't have any, it asked for my Name, DL and SSN#'s to prove I didn't have Insurance. I guess they bill your insurance, and promise no out of pocket expense. If this is going to be required testing every time, I wonder when the Insurance agencies push back and say enough in having to pay for these tests. In time, this will go down as more people are inoculated and a herd immunity occurs.
BTW, I did both the Rapid Antigen and PCR testing. I got my Rapid back 8 minutes after, the PCR should be back on Friday.
