Human Rights Watch: A Deadly Lack of Affordable COVID-19 Treatment in the US

The Human Rights Watch, a non-profit organization based in New York, recently published an article entitled “A Deadly Lack of Affordable COVID-19 Treatment in the US” which addresses how costly and inaccessible it is, particularly for low-income people, to receive testing and treatment for COVID-19. One uninsured woman in Boston reported that her COVID-19 testing and treatment cost her nearly $35,000. Unfortunately, her experience is not unique as many low-income, uninsured people find themselves in similar situations.
