Per the article, Grail’s test is already on the market at $949. Insurance does not cover this —- yet. (That is a big goal of many of these companies).

This is not cheap but not also not insane. Grail’s test screens for 50 different cancers (at a range of test performances, sure, but as the article mentions, many cancers currently have no screening mechanism). As comparison, the non-insured price of things like MRI and CT scans can run into the tens of thousands of dollars.
