Cost access and quality are the cornerstones in the medical system of the US. The aspect of cost is however more critical than access and quality.
Cost directly deals with the aspect of funds and is directly affected by the fluctuation of the United States economy. When the economy fluctuates cost will be the aspect of the cornerstones that will be affected first. When the economy is threatened the cost of medical services goes up and that is when the effect on quality and access is felt. With the rising costs in medical care American citizens are beginning to worry about their access to quality medical care that is affordable Bundorf (Para.1). So why does cost play such a significant role in the existence of the other cornerstones? Funding of the medical system is the basic requirement for its very survival and sustenance. After the war in Iraq the American economy has become shaky which has reflected in every sector.
Increase in the cost of medical services is inversely proportional to the access of quality medical services. With a shaky economy many citizens are operating on tight string budgets and while medication is a basic human need the quality of medical services and its access will be compromised in this case. This means that a decrease in the medical costs would see an increase in the access and a notable addition to the quality of medical services offered to the citizens of America.
