Oral Session | ||||

| As health care costs climb, access dwindles and quality is compromised, states continue to wrestle with the conflict between the needs of the community and the demands of health providers. Certificate of need (CON) has been a controversial regulatory approach for over 36 years which many believe should be replaced by freemarket competition. Yet, in spite of the valiant efforts of managed care over the past ten year, it has no better record with cost, access and quality than CON did. This session will compare the experiences and recommendations of CON-regulated and non-CON states to help participants better prepare themselves for this ongoing debate. | ||||
