Yes, BS. Because, as I said, regulations have not stopped the establishment and proliferation of the urgent care clinics that would be intended to reduce the load for hospital emergency rooms. Such facilities do not need a CON if affiliated with an existing hospital or practice. They essentially function as extensions of local ERs for non-critical needs - or, they would, if they were forced to see patients regardless of demonstrated ability to pay, as ERs must. To fix that, you need MORE regulations, not fewer.
