6. I got it free proactively when traveling to AFrica, where it's not widely available in hospitals.

Interestingly my doctor prescribed it for me to bring along just in case we got COVID in AFrica, but my husband's doctor refused to do so. We are both seniors over 65. There was no charge.

If you are traveling abroad to a third world country, it may be worth trying to get Paxlovid ahead of time and then stash it away when you return in case you need it later and insurance coverage goes away.

This should be free for everyone!
