Formally ending the 'public health emergency' resulted in negative outcomes like the discontinuation of free at-home COVID tests under Medicare and PCR tests. Uninsured individuals will face barriers to accessing free testing, exacerbating the risks for vulnerable populations.
Policy decisions, including the choice to end the emergency, have worsened the impacts of COVID-19. Prioritizing profit over the lives of marginalized disabled individuals reveals a dangerous sacrifice to capitalism that amplified the pandemic's severity.
