In a reversal, Medicare will cover 8 free COVID-19 home tests per month beginning this spring

The administration said it will be the first time Medicare covers a free, over-the-counter test for enrollees. Medicare will pay pharmacies and other entities directly to allow enrollees to pick up the free tests.

Two are on Medicare. The only one to be tested threw up at work and was sent home, to go to the Occupational Health clinic the next day, being required to test negative to return to work, and she tested negative. She's the one who isn't on Medicare.
What are we going to do with 16 home tests a month if we're Pfizer vaccinated and boosted, if we didn't need them before now?
