Abstract: This study investigates the impact of the COVID pandemic on healthcare utilization, spending, and health measures among the U.S. population during the first year of the pandemic. We utilize data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and employ propensity score matching techniques to analyze the variation in healthcare outcomes due to the pandemic.
