Don't Limit Healthcare

Repeal Certificate of Need!

Write Your Legislator!

Dear [Legislator's Name],

We urge you to repeal the Certificate of Need (CON) law to help lower healthcare prices. This law restricts competition, keeping healthcare costs high by limiting new providers and expansions.

Studies have shown that in states with CON laws, healthcare costs are higher, and there are fewer hospital beds per capita, which is particularly detrimental during health crises like the COVID-19 outbreak, where rapid response and capacity expansion are crucial.

Maine ranks as one of the highest per capita healthcare costs in the nation. As a constituent, I am asking you to support this common sense step to increase access and decrease costs for Mainers.

Thank you!

Certificate of Need (CON) laws require healthcare providers to demonstrate a "need" for new services or expansions, often to the approval of existing competitors, this stifles innovation and limits the entry of new healthcare providers. This regulatory burden not only increases administrative costs but also delays or prevents the introduction of new facilities or technologies that would benefit vulnerable individuals. By removing CON laws, Maine could foster a more competitive environment, driving down costs through increased supply and encouraging the development of diverse healthcare services tailored to community needs.

Send your legislators an email to encourage them to repeal these outdated laws!
