So make tests cheaper - sounds like an opportunity that gets a win for everyone without political miracles.

(I don’t know the market I am talking about at all, but) Maybe they could incentivize cheap tests by capping the cost per test that can be administered without some large red tape process. The market will provide tests under that cap where possible, so they can be administered more frequently & frictionessly. Patients are thoroughly tested, Doctors cover their butts, and test supply companies get to keep selling lots of tests.
