• Good question, but first things first a CON is a
  Certificate of Need. These are legislated by each
  individual state and not every state requires
  one. A CON regulates the overbuilding of
  healthcare facilities and healthcare price
  regulation.
• There are pros and cons about Certificate of Need
  laws. The pros are
• These laws distribute healthcare across a city,
  county or state
• They provide an evaluation to healthcare
• It protects patient costs

• The cons are
• It reduces the free market
• It potentially reduces supply increasing
  demand/pricing
• Cumbersome evaluation slows market response
• Its inconsistent from state to state
• It reduces the consumer urgency to own individual
  healthcare
• It allows lobbyists and politics to enter into
  healthcare considerations
