Bill 118 s 2686, titled "A bill to require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the economic impact and health outcomes associated with the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States," aims to investigate the effects of the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic on both the economy and public health.

The bill mandates that the Comptroller General of the United States, an independent government watchdog, conduct a comprehensive study to assess how the various measures taken in response to the pandemic have impacted the economy and public health outcomes in the country. This study will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the government's response and help identify areas for improvement in future public health crises.

By requiring this study, the bill seeks to ensure transparency and accountability in the government's handling of the pandemic and to inform future decision-making processes. It will provide policymakers with data-driven evidence to guide their efforts in mitigating the economic and health impacts of the ongoing pandemic and any future crises that may arise. Overall, Bill 118 s 2686 serves as a crucial step towards understanding the full scope of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the United States and will help shape future policies to better protect the economy and public health in times of crisis.
