Mississippi’s CON Laws are holding the state back
If Mississippians want better access to higher quality and lower cost care, it’s clear that full CON repeal is the best path. If you are doctor in Dallas and you want to open a facility to treat end-stage renal failure, you don’t need to prove to a regulator that your community needs the service. Similarly,…
