A comment on How the Government Ruined US Healthcare – And What Can Be Done.
It wasn’t until 1972 that President Richard Nixon restricted the supply of hospitals by requiring institutions to provide a certificate-of-need.
Federal certificate of need laws were repealed in the 1980s, after it was decided that they didn't lower costs.
It's pretty misleading to mention that they were put in place and then not mention that they were repealed.
