Is it moral to request the free government home Covid tests if you can afford to buy them?

Asked by janbb (62877points) January 18th, 2022

I’ve been mulling this over since the program was announced. I realize that tests for purchase are not readily available right now but there will be a lag in receiving the government tests too. If one can afford the $20 or $30 for a pack of two tests, is it fair to get them from the government as well?

Bonus question: I’ve seen a few posts about the USPS sending out free tests if you apply there. This seems to be different from the CDC program. Does anyone know if they are the same?
