SC Must Repeal Certificate of Need Laws

South Carolina has an urgent problem, but luckily you can fix it! 

In South Carolina, there are just 2.19 hospital beds per 1,000 residents, according to CNBC. The state ranks 44th worst in access to clinical care. 

This is unacceptable! 

Unfortunately, South Carolina's Certificate of Need laws restrict the number of healthcare facilities in the state, the number of beds in each facility, and the purchase of medical equipment. This all means worse care, longer wait times, and higher costs of care for South Carolinians. 

I urge you to fully repeal South Carolina's Certificate of Need laws, so patients can have greater access to health care across the state.
