Letting states set their own diagnostic testing standards 'creates enormous confusion,' one health expert said.

Four Senate Republicans introduced a bill on Tuesday that would allow states the option to simply ignore federal testing standards during public health emergencies.

Experts say this could cause serious problems for tracking and containing future pandemics.

The "Right to Test Act," authored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and co-sponsored by Sens. Mike Braun (R-IN), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), would change federal law to note that "during any public health emergency" declared by the secretary of Health and Human Services or a governor, the state's public health department "may clear or approve diagnostic tests or diagnostic devices" for use in that state on their own, rather than following one set federal standard.

2. So they want to ignore health standards too, along wanting to remove libility clauses (so...

they won't be liable for CV-related issues in case they screw up)?

3. The GOP is a criminal enterprise. Their mission is to cheat, steal, lie to accrue money & power.

nothing else

4. Actually, one of those things that might be beneficial when a deranged admin is in office.

5. No, they want some kind of State by State dystopia

Want to own slaves? Move to this state.

Want to jail LGBT folks? Move to this state.

Want to dump raw shit in the river? Move to this state.

Want to fuck your sister? Move to this state.

Want to teach your kids that the moon is made of cheese? Move to this state.

We fought a fucking war about this shit.

I kinda wish they would succeed and all move to some Dumbfuckistan Murika place and descend into cannibalism, but it would never work.

There'd still be fucksticks in decent States carrying guns and demanding that good state become Alabama.

Like my old Master Chief used to say; "fuck these fuckity fucks!"
