Hey John, do stories about cronyism and government control annoy you? Well,
wait till you hear about Certificate of Need (CON) laws...
CON laws require health care providers to obtain approval — a permission slip
— from state officials before investing in facilities, services, or equipment.
In 1974, Congress mandated states establish CON laws to be eligible to receive
certain federal health care funds.
Because incumbent providers have a CON, and often have the resources and
lobbyists to work bureaucratic systems, they fare better than start up
innovators struggling to gain a foothold in the market and in the halls of
power.
While federal lawmakers rarely remove laws from the books, in 1987 even
Congress recognized CON laws were a failure and lifted their mandate.
At least a dozen states followed by repealing their CON laws. Still, at the
beginning of 2023, 35 states still had CON laws in place.
Now only 34 will.
We WON a victory for patients in South Carolina!
Excited members of that winning team are featured in this new video.

Americans for Prosperity-South Carolina played a pivotal role in this success
story.
Our comprehensive advocacy campaign included townhalls, a powerful ad
campaign, extensive phone outreach, door-knocking to 60,000 homes, and a
compelling petition with 16,000 signatures calling for an end to the state's
CON law.
This groundswell of support was truly remarkable, and the commitment of
activists—regular Americans like you—to this cause made a tangible difference.
South Carolina State Senator Wes Climer is clear: “Certificate of need would
not have been repealed if AFP had not played a leading role.”
John, you don’t live in South Carolina, but you do have the same chance to
stand up, take action, and increase opportunities and freedom for all in your
state.
I hope our win for medical choice and economic freedom here encourages you to
join your local Americans for Prosperity chapter to help freedom and
opportunity win in DC as well.
For freedom & opportunity,
— Candace
