    WASHINGTON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Insurance companies will be required to cover eight over-the-counter at-home coronavirus tests per person each month starting Saturday, the Biden administration said, expanding access to highly sought-after kits as Americans grapple with a surge in coronavirus cases.

    The White House also said on Monday that there is no limit to the number of COVID-19 tests, including at-home tests, that insurers must cover if they are ordered or administered by a health care provider.


    Interesting.... At what point did the president ever have such a power to force a company to pay for something? Interesting new powers Biden has given himself.

    8 per month? How the hell did they come up with that number? Who said they could force an insurance company to do this? I smell a barrage of law suits coming.
