We've blogged before on our state's certificate of need laws:
How many states now have a CON law?
What does Alabama's law cover?
So many states do without the CON, either employing no regulation or utilizing a less strenuous agency to control new medical facilities. If any area has suffered due to Alabama's CON law, it's Lauderdale County.
What will it take to negate/repeal the law?
We're waiting. Does a second look at CON come in second to a raffle?
