Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn are posing new challenges for families seeking health care. Not only have many providers rescheduled patient visits or closed their practices because of the pandemic, but patients have also shied away from seeing their regular physicians (Hamel et al. 2020).1 In addition, significant material hardship among the large number of adults whose families have lost jobs or work-related income during the pandemic makes it difficult for families to afford the care they need (Karpman et al. 2020).
