医疗保健是工人赔偿福利的重要组成部分，具有改善健康和受伤后劳动成果的潜力，但人们对医疗保健支出与受伤工人的劳动成果之间的关系知之甚少。我们利用了 2003--2004 年加州工人赔偿改革，该改革大幅减少了腰部受伤工人的医疗支出。我们将行政索赔数据与受伤工人及其未受伤同事的收入记录联系起来。我们发现，与其他受伤工人相比，改革后腰部受伤工人的医疗费用下降了 7.6%，伤后收入下降了 8.1%。
Medical care represents an important component of workers' compensation benefits with the potential to improve health and post-injury labor outcomes, but little is known about the relationship between medical care spending and the labor outcomes of injured workers. We exploit the 2003--2004 California workers' compensation reforms which reduced medical spending disproportionately for workers incurring low back injuries. We link administrative claims data to earnings records for injured workers and their uninjured coworkers. We find that workers with low back injuries experienced a 7.6 percent post-reform decline in medical care, and an 8.1 percent drop in post-injury earnings relative to other injured workers.
