first peer:  There are many factors that influence todays health care costs inflation effect the healthcare cost because as society grows the amount of people needing healthcare grow as well.  Inflation effects the cost of everything we buy and need, so naturally the cost of healthcare will go up as well.  The changes in population size, age and ethnicity effects the increase cost of care with the amount of people needing healthcare.  Technology of services effects the health care costs, because the cost of the equipment use for diagnosing health issues. We are using less people and more computers to assist with health care, for example at my job we used what we call Caravi, and instead of calling the on call doctor we use a computer.  We have access to a doctor 24 hours a day.  We actually take the computer in a patient room and they are able to talk with a live doctor and see the doctor face to face.  I’m sure the cost for equipment like this effects the cost of health care cost.
