Dear Friends –

BIG NEWS: Rapid COVID-19 tests will be available free of charge for Medicare beneficiaries this spring. This news comes after I sent a letter to the Biden Administration, urging them to not to leave seniors behind. Americans enrolled in Medicare and Medicare Advantage will be able to pick up eight over-the-counter COVID tests at no cost from participating pharmacies each month. Learn more here.  

Rapid tests are one of the best tools we have to control the spread of COVID-19. Thanks to legislation I voted for and the Biden Administration, you can request two free COVID test kits to be sent to you at COVIDtests.gov or by calling 1-800-232-0233. If you have private insurance, you can find more information about getting your COVID-19 test costs covered here. 

Together, we will ensure all members of our community have access to the resources they need to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. To follow what I’m working on both in Washington and in Connecticut, visit my Facebook page, follow me on Twitter, or follow me on Instagram.

Best wishes,
