Do not require a PCR covid test to return upon England from green list countries

What the petition asks
The cost of covid PCR tests is outrageous and considerably more than the cost of buying a ticket to travel to see my family. If a country is on the green list it should be considered safe enough not to require a test when you return.
Last week the UK Government came up with a green list of countries where you can travel without having to quarantine on arrival to UK. Although, there are some limitations, including having a valid PCR covid test on day 2 after arrival that needs to be done specifically on one of the sites listed on the government website. This rule doesn't make sense and these tests are not affordable for people like me. Am I free to go and see my family or not? Where are people supposed to get the money?
