Help Solve Kentucky’s Healthcare Crisis
Breaking Down Barriers to Expand Access and Save Lives
Healthcare remains one of the most urgent challenges facing Kentucky today. Across the Commonwealth, especially in rural areas, families are struggling to access the care they need due to a critical shortage of doctors, treatment facilities, and emergency services. This is not just a policy issue, it’s a human issue that affects lives every single day.
We believe Kentuckians deserve better. It’s time to remove the outdated and unnecessary government restrictions that are standing in the way of progress. One of the most impactful steps we can take is eliminating the Certificate of Need (CON) requirement, a bureaucratic hurdle that limits the ability of new providers to offer essential services like psychiatric care, substance abuse treatment, and ambulance operations.
We must also address the growing doctor shortage by allowing international medical graduates (IMGs), qualified professionals who have completed rigorous training abroad to practice medicine in Kentucky. By modernizing licensure pathways and removing unnecessary barriers, we can bring more skilled physicians into our communities and ensure Kentuckians receive timely, high-quality care.
By removing this barrier, we can:
- Expand access to care in underserved communities
- Encourage innovation and investment in healthcare infrastructure
- Foster competition that drives quality up and costs down
- Empower local providers to meet the unique needs of their communities
These are common sense reforms that put patients first and open the door to a healthier Kentucky.
