“Biden announces tax payer funded at home tests for people who can’t afford them”
There I fixed your headline, you’re welcome

[rustykey]

You don't need more testing, you need to get back to life and living.

[choicemanifests]

We don't need an Alzheimer's patient to tell us we are responsible for our own choices. Not all of us anyways

[joegambino]

Whose money are you spending for these tests, Joe? Who built the cages Joe?

[clint]

Tested an apple and it was positive 😂😂😂

[billyork]

Free? Oh from the tax payers. And who is making the money from the testing? Don't see you " reporting " on the millions they make

[ScoobieSwisher]

Will these be handed out at the border?

“If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized ... If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance -- you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.” - Ian Watson

No kidding Joe, have your ice cream then a long nap.

[Samhidesfrombullets]

Or we could just not test and live our lives. Remember when every single time we got sick before the virus we used to run out in panic to get tested…me neither.

This is the song that never ends.
Yes it goes on and on my friends.
Some people, started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because ....

[robertliles]

Please promote more fear and distrust. I’m barely even terrified anymore

[sandiharris]

I hold out hope that omicron rationally will be put on time magazine cover as the moment that covid is tamed down to ordinary flu for future

[kdaxir]

Oh no. I see so many problems with this. All the crooks are going to try and earn money on this.

[TrumpMakesLeftiesCryAgain]

Biden announces....ya know the thing...c'mon man!

[commonsense]

There is nothing free. We the people are paying for those tests. Lets go Brandon!!!

[tonypitsacota]

*SEND ME A FEW DOZEN OF THESE* .... I'll sell them on ebay! Somebody will buy them!

[squeakydragon]

This is Great News for lower income families that now won't have these types of additional medical expenses right after Christmas.

[pilargonzalez]

Yup, here in the Netherlands wer are in semi-lockdown now too. High surges in rates expected in the coming 2 weeks. As sad as it is, but I am settling for my second Xmas with my cat. Come on now... the whole world is going through this, use your brains!!! People have survived a lot worse than not being able to spend Xmas together unless needed. We're all tired and upset, but just for how much longer do you think hospitals and health workers can hold the People still seem to think this won't affect them, but it will.
