Majority of people in U.S. say they've had to make health care adjustments due to Covid-19

small, new GoodRx survey finds that more than 75% of Americans have had some aspect of their health care disrupted due to the pandemic. Over 1,700 people were asked about changes they've had to make as a result of Covid-19, and about a third of respondents said they've had to cancel or reschedule a doctor's appointment because of pandemic-related disruptions. Around 1 in 10 said they couldn't fill their prescription due to shortages; albuterol (for respiratory distress) and the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (touted as a Covid-19 treatment but also used for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis) were the most common drugs that respondents couldn't refill.
