German scandal - 22 Euros for a PCR test instead of 5 Euros. No US scandal for paying 100 bucks for a test (the US has tested more than twice Germany)
Billions of euros wasted on PCR tests in Germany
From here:
“Internal documents show possible billions wasted in PCR tests - Lauterbach: "Test costs were too high"
“Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) admitted on request that the prices for PCR tests had been "too high".
According to WorldOMeter, Germany has conducted 122 million tests on its 84 million population, for a per capita rate of around 1.5. The US has conducted 1.15 billion tests on its 335 million population for a per capita rate of 3.5 – more than double Germany’s per capita rate.
“..health insurance companies in May 2020 estimated the material costs for a PCR test at 22.02 euros. .. On the open market, on the other hand, several providers sold certified test kits at that time for four to seven euros.”
Eighty per cent for the German “big guy”?
“Today, the laboratories still receive around 30 euros for a PCR test, including personnel, transport and other costs.”
But wait, there’s more.
From here, for the US.
How much does a PCR test cost ? (mondassur.com)
“The price of a PCR test in the US varies greatly depending on the city, state and laboratory where you are tested. This can range from $40 to more than $400, with $400 no longer a reasonable amount. It should be noted that these prices correspond to the PCR test alone, and do not take into account other costs associated with a doctor’s visit, medication or emergency room visit.”
Wait, what???? Germans have a massive scandal because some of them paid 22 Euros instead of 5, yet the US tax payer and insurance companies have to pay up to somewhere between 40 and 400 dollars? Call it 100 bucks for a PCR test, compared to 5 Euros for 1.15 billion tests compared to 122 million tests on Germans?
The 95% for the “big guy” looks like he is a racketeer.
Money spent on a test which has been shown to produce over 90% false positives and which the designer of the process said was never intended or capable of testing for a live virus.
PCR tests here in Germany (Munich area) cost 70 Euros and up. The cheaper tests where also do-it-yourself kits were sold were Lateral Flow Tests. I don't know what they are called in the US. They cost between maybe 2 and 15 Euros. I know because I had to get tested all the time, because unvaxxed and had to be tested to enter any medical institution zu receive my cancer treatment.
