I don’t live there but youre talking in absolutes which just isn’t the case.
How do you think i know about this in the first place? Someone from the US was telling a story about how they had to get one while uninsured and they paid $1500 for it (that’s the lower end of the scale which is 1500-4800)
Im not saying everyone can, and you’re right if the test comes back positive that’s a whole other story, but a lot of uninsured people can afford to get the test if they think its needed. They might not have 2k sitting around either but could save for it.
Edit: And just going back to my very very first message, I was surprised to hear it was so low compared to other crazy expensive procedures in the states, so I figured it was worth sharing because for some, it is something they could manage.
