Love the show we watch it everyday! I have a topic for the show, I am a essential worker and called a med express to see how much it would cost for a COVID-19 test; the nurse told me that insurance would be billed $240 plus another $100 deductible that might be billed to me and maybe a $50 copay. I am covered under insurance however I do live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to pay $150 to be tested when I do not have systems of COVID-19 but I would like to know if I have it or not. I also thought that testing was free however that is not the case. I really don’t mind paying for insurance through my job; I have done it it all my life however I do think universal health care would benefit all Americans because I do not go to the doctor due to all the costs of copays and deductibles. Most of these costs would pay a bill in my house hold. I am making this comment because this is an example of Americans that have insurance but still cannot afford to go doctor.
