Hi Christa - I'm reviewing certificate of need now. In what state do you live? Thank you. I know where I am in Washington there is an activity to change or alter that program. Thank you. YOur answer will help me frame my response.
It is appallingly difficult to get an MD’s license revoked. Any complaints to a state’s Board of Medicine are archived until a certain number is reached, or protests / activists picket the hospital or BoM offices. And in Florida, who knows if a license revocation would ever happen.
While I certainly am an advocate of lowering drug prices, I am a louder advocate for questioning the use of drugs to start with. If you have ever seen drug commercials, you have seen the happy, energetic people who have “benefited” from a particular drug gamboling about to music while the “possible side effects” are being enumerated. Possible side effects I have heard include: liver and kidney failure, heart attack, allergic reactions, uncontrollable bleeding (for which you need to contact your physician immediately). Personally, I find the side effects about as bad as any disease a drug purports to treat.
can you speak to Certification of need programs. Pros and cons?

Lapado attended Harvard Medical School and graduated in 2008. Perhaps they ought to consider rescinding his degree. 🫤
Thanks for finding that data. Loss of license?
