Uninsured Americans Could Soon Be Charged For Covid Testing, Vaccines

Catching COVID is bad enough, but a bout with the virus could soon cost you if you’re uninsured.

A federal program that covered the cost of COVID treatment, testing and vaccines for uninsured Americans is no longer accepting new claims.

Unless Congress provides more funding, some hospitals and health care providers say they might have to start charging for those services.
