I acknowledged that some; I'm pretty sure they shouldn't apply anymore to CT machines. Creates a profit center for the hospital with little or no offsetting benefit to the public.

Whole hospitals is harder to say, but build out will be treated like any other investment, not done willy-nilly, and a hospital going out of business is probably better over the medium term than a hospital being propped up by limiting market entry.

There are good reasons to maintain levels of service geographically, but for stuff like that we should be doing direct grants, not obstructing markets and hoping it works out the way we want.
