Looks like Obama was correct about Biden being able to screw up anything he touches. He announces this plan and says it will be implemented in 4 days. He gave insurers no notice to get set up for this, so to start with it may take 6 months for people to get reimbursed.
And where does Biden get the unilateral authority to dictate what private insurance companies are required to cover?
Some health insurers say they will have trouble adapting to a new federal rule from the Biden administration requiring them to cover the costs of 8 at home tests per month.

I tend to think that these are baby steps by the Dems to use a "public health emergency" to get Americans used to universal health care.
The mindless population does not realize that that they end up paying for all of these "free' tests.
It started with vaccinations, where everyone could get them for "free," but Pfizer gets $30 per shot, and CVS gets $45 for delivering it.
Free tests have similar costs, and the mindless among us go get tested for "free" frequently at government-run or authorized sites.
Going to get tested is one of the dumbest things people can do. If you are sick, you should stay home, not go out and get tested.
What's extra ridiculous is all of the vaccinated/boosted people getting tested. What a complete waste of money. It's a hobby for some people.
But it's all about Big Pharma being the biggest donor to politicians. The tyrants are simply paying them back.
Testing at home will require reporting results to your insurance company. Insurance companies automatically report results to government authorities (government authorities are immune from HIPAA for purposes of addressing a public health threat). The positive results would only be used to further the restrictions on liberties.
Don't report positive test results ever. If you get sick, stay home You probably have COVID and will most likely get over it soon. Drink plenty of fluids, let your fever do its work up to at least 103F without medicine if you can tolerate it, and force yourself get up as soon as you can, even if for short periods. The longer you lay down, the less chance of getting up.
I've had COVID twice now. It's just another flu as everyone was told from the very beginning of the plandemic. COVID is simply one more coronavirus that most people wil acquire at some point in their lives. There are four others.
