While filling every mailbox in America with tests may be too extreme an approach, the Biden administration could certainly go further, argued Sabrina Corlette, the co-director of Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms.

“I don’t know what would be involved logistically in mailing tests to everyone’s mailbox,” she said. “It seems like an enormous undertaking. But I do think it’s certainly feasible to have a more rational system where you could walk into a Walgreens or Giant and you could pick up tests.”…

“The current approach that the Biden administration is building on simply leaves too many barriers in place,” Corlette said. She recently bought tests for herself and her children when a cold ran through the house, paying $100 out of pocket that she doesn’t expect to get back, but she knows that’s not a realistic option for many people, who will continue to attend work or school without knowing if they are infected.
