I wouldn't get too carried away yet.

Yale intends to provide its “open source” testing protocol to laboratories around the country. Other labs can now adopt the method while using a variety of commercially available testing components that can reduce costs, speed turnaround times and increase testing frequency, according to the FDA. The Yale researchers have estimated it should cost about $10 to run a test.

This test still involves a lab. You have to get the test to the lab and the results back to the patient (and the State of California). While labs can adopt the method, that won't happen overnight. I can almost assure you that no test that involves a back-and-forth to a lab will cost only $10.00. As a patient, you may pay that, but it will cost more. Also note the word "intends". Future tense.
It is unclear to me that the test is suitable for use with "high throughput" testing machines. Those usually require a cartridge/kit from the manufacturer. Not requiring specialized plasticware to take the sample, and not requiring skilled people to take the sample is a big plus. However, if the resulting test must be run on the smaller PCR machines, people like Quest probably will not be interested. Too manpower intensive.
This test may have many advantages, but we shouldn't expect too much too soon.
