OPPOSE – CALL TO ACTION
OPPOSE: HB1552 – Certificate of Public Need Exemption for Critical Hospitals
STATUS: This bill will be voted on in the Senate Education and Health Committee TODAY, 2/6 at 8:30 am in Senate Room A.
This bill would further entrench Virginia in the problems caused by the Certificate of Public Need program. It would allow certain hospitals, defined as critical access hospitals, to receive an exemption from COPN. This interference in the market place would cause inequity and continue to allow hospitals to choose winners and losers in the market of medical services.
