Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a marked impact on healthcare businesses since 2020. Healthcare organizations suffered greatly from financial stress coupled with disruptions in national and global supply chains. Healthcare workers and patients alike experienced significant downturns in their physical and mental health. Large government and legislative reforms were enacted to combat the progression of the pandemic. This paper explores these areas in detail in order to provide a clearer understanding of the successes and inadequacies that exist within the United States healthcare system as illuminated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
