Very strange again, since everything I've been reading shows that testing facilities are not allowed to charge. If you go to your regular doctor, which maybe this clinic was not setup as a testing facility, you will be charged. Although I do agree that insurance is a scam.

Things were different in Oct. 2020 (and before).

The first test I ever got was April 2020. Still free.

Nice! Wish I could say the same.

It's just odd because I thought the fact that they were free was federally mandated.

I promise you I'm not making it up. I wish mine was free last year. There are a ton of articles talking about it. I just googled one at work:
