New Report Casts Shadow on State of State Health Care

LANSING, MI (WHTC) – According to MIRS News, a George Mason University study showed that Michigan’s Certificate of Need law may be reducing the availability of health care in the state due to it creating more restrictions and regulations than the national average. However, state Health Department officials claim that Michigan has nearly 85 hundred more hospital beds than it needs, and efforts to amend the state’s CON statutes have consistently failed in the Legislature because of this and other facts.
