This is an interesting statement and reminds me of the mantra "No margin, no mission." If an organization is unable to control its costs, then it really does not matter what the quality of care is, in the long term, as the organization will not be around to provide care for very long.

And as we see with past and current healthcare reform initiatives, the state of the economy plays an enormous role in determining the public's view of the reform efforts. Which, in turn, plays a role in the relative success or failure of the reform efforts.
