I wish they would develop a test like the blood sugar devices people use at home to test their blood sugar level - just poke your finger.

That will never happen here. No one wants to test the poor and find out the true numbers among that population.

I doubt that we will see it here as well.

Yes, that would be great, I also wish that test results could be gotten more quickly like a pregnancy test. That too will probably not happen.

Testing and vaccines will never look the same in medical systems that are socialist and those that are not.

As a child, I sometimes had socialized medical care and sometimes I had care in the USA. It was just different, in so many ways. Here, I knew that I had no right to basic care and I internalized that belief about myself that others believed about me. But if I jumped on a plane, I was no longer expendable to those people. It left me unsure what to believe about myself.
