> Health insurance companies have already said they will cover COVID without copay/deductibles.
This has been said about testing and coverage for testing is included in the bill that passed the house. But I’ve seen it nowhere reported that this is true for treatment. What’s the source for this claim?
> I am sure that there will be free/low cost options for people without any insurance.
The only provision currently on the table is Medicaid expansion to states for treatment, but the amount of people who are or will be ineligible for Medicaid (assuming they got laid off) is quite large. I’m not certain how you can be “sure” of this.
