"Anybody who wants a test gets a test"

I just want to be sure we remember this statement from President Trump on March 6, 2020.

CNBC Link quoting Needy Amin.

After all, conservatives never tire of reminding us that President Obama said that if you like your insurance or your doctor, you can keep your insurance or your doctor. Of course that statement was only about what the Affordable Care Act was designed to do, not what it was capable of doing after Republicans knee-capped it in the courts. Trump's comment about testing was his and his alone, pulled out of the ether, run through his very good brain, and then fell out of his mouth without prompting from anyone.

Don't forget what Trump said, and be sure to remind folks he said it. We won't get getting any assistance to remember Trump's feckless ways from our good friends in the liberal media.

No symptoms, but would take one anyway.

We all should! It's not like blood is drawn or anything

But since idiocy rules, we have to ration testing.
