8. Medicare pays for covid home test kits

If you want covid home test kits and you're on Medicare, you are authorized up to eight
per month. I picked up eight at Walgreens with no copay. Medicare picked it up. Most drug
stores can probably do this.
You can also sign up for them online but you will probably get 8 per month forever. Once
the online suppliers get your Medicare number, they will ship as much to you as possible
to make money off the Medicare system and you probably won't need that many.
