Public Comment: Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Deregulatory Initiative

The public comment, authored by Cardinal Institute Chief of Staff Jessica Dobrinsky, supports the repeal of West Virginia’s Certificate of Need (CON) laws. In response to Executive Order 14219, which seeks to reduce regulatory overreach, the comment argues that eliminating CON laws would enhance healthcare access and foster greater competition across the state.
