The article tries to make the sub-point that the swab was somehow an excessive test - I was trying to highlight that this is not the case, which makes the overcharging even more egregious.

Also to clarify, in Australia there is no cost to anyone with permanent residency status, whether they are insured or not.

I now understand what was your point.

Also to clarify, there is no cost for anyone (EU residents) here too if you use the public health system, but if you cannot wait till you're dead then you can use the (optional) private system and pay for that.
