Check out my op-ed on certificate of need laws in Oregon--the state with the second fewest hospital beds per capita and second fewest rehab beds per capita. It's shocking that legislators there still believe CON laws provide any benefits. #endtheCON oregonlive.com/opinion/2024/1…

A piece of the Governor’s budget I’m excited about: reforming certificate of need laws. Removing outpatient services like home health/hospice/surgical centers & more from review, raising the capital threshold to $50M, limiting competitor vetoes, and more. omb.ri.gov/budget-office/…

The West Virginia Hospital Association, year after year, attempts to defend our state’s Certificate of Need (CON) laws with misleading claims that serve monopolistic interests rather than the public good and health of West Virginia citizens. The reality is that CON stifles

MS House taking an important step to reform their certificate of need laws and increase access to needed healthcare services! #endtheCON AFP-MS Applauds House Vote Towards Repealing Certificate of Need Laws americansforprosperity.org/featured/ameri…

ICYMI repealing certificate of need (CON) laws helps rural communities the most. Proponents argue that CON laws preserve access to rural healthcare options, but that’s wrong. #endtheCON #wvpol wvdn.com/153863/

"Repealing Certificate of Need laws isn’t just about economic theory — it’s about ensuring West Virginians can see a doctor when they need one, find specialists without months-long waits and receive care in their own state rather than being forced to cross borders."

UNANIMOUS House approval on REINS + judicial deference reform bill today in South Carolina. I love working in this state. Everything Candace Carroll touches turns to gold!!! Pacific Legal 🗡⚖️

Anytime. Thank you Governor Dan McKee and RI Department of Health for making certificate of need reform a significant priority. Rhode Islanders will benefit from better access, lower costs, and higher quality healthcare services. #endtheCON

The REINS Act will hold unelected bureaucrats accountable, save taxpayer money and put a halt to wasteful government! Proud to join Rep. Allen Chesser, Rep. Mike Schietzelt and Rep. Jeff Zenger in leading this much-needed effort in the NC House. #ncga #ncpol

Reminder: forgiving medical debt does not lower healthcare costs or protect patients from ending up back in medical debt in the future. Repealing certificate of need laws does. States w/o CON laws have lower costs and spend less on healthcare #endtheCON townhall.com/columnists/joh…

Great to be able to work in my own state capital for a change today alongside Jaimie Cavanaugh Pacific Legal 🗡⚖️ supporting #NCREINSAct to ensure rules enacted by unelected bureaucrats that carry the same force as the law are appropriately reviewed #ncpol #ncga AFP-NC John Locke Foundation

💜 this: “[T]he legislature has the power to determine what executive agencies can and cannot do. This isn’t a new interpretation of the law — it’s exactly how the system was designed to work.”

Check out my new report on collaborative practice agreements for nurse practitioners. These agreements decrease access to care (especially in rural areas), increase healthcare costs, and offer no measurable benefits for patients. Pacific Legal 🗡⚖️ pacificlegal.org/restrictions-t…

Vermont enacted certificate of need reform this month. This is a huge step towards increasing access to needed healthcare services. Other states should follow suit. #endtheCON pacificlegal.org/vermont-just-t…

Accessing healthcare in North Carolina's rural communities is like searching for a needle in a haystack. But state legislators don’t have to look far to find an example of successful CON repeal 👀👀 Jaimie Cavanaugh Carolina Journal carolinajournal.com/opinion/rural-…

It's been two years since South Carolina repealed Certificate of Need, and we're already seeing the benefits. Hear from Senator Wes Climer and AFP's Candace Carroll how this reform transformed healthcare in South Carolina 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=dU_3Dr…

let's go North Carolina! Time to lead your region, reclaim authority from the administrate state, and adopt legislative review of major regulations. #ncpol carolinajournal.com/opinion/will-n…
