This plan assumes that tests in the US are readily available, cheap, and fast. I can assure you they are not, with public testing facilities in short supply, private tests costing hundreds of dollars, and test results taking upwards of a week. Maybe an incentive would mean that people would actually go get tested instead of ignoring contact tracers, but as with anything healthcare in the US, they'd probably be more concerned with taking time off work.
