Rep. Katie Porter Gets CDC Director to Say "Yes" to Free Coronavirus Testing
Rep. Katie Porter@RepKatiePorter · 6h
I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
