In this episode of Beyond Policy, Sal Nuzzo and Lindsey Killen of the James Madison Institute (Florida) join Dr. Smith for a deep dive into the effects of Florida's recent innovation in healthcare: repealing its ancient "Certificate of Need" (CON) law.

After a brief digression into the advantages of Darlington over Daytona, they discuss how South Carolina's CON statute hurts patients by limiting competition and innovation in healthcare in the Palmetto State.

Learn how continuing to require a Certificate of Need from the state in healthcare means less access and higher costs for rural residents and vulnerable populations. They also touch on how CON forces healthcare providers to litigate against each other, enriching only lawyers.
