Scariest words
Certificate of Need laws exemplify the scariest words in the English language: "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help". Progressingamerica (talk) 15:53, 5 April 2020 (EDT)
- This is bull, and communist propaganda. Bed shortages are created by the pandemic PERIOD. There are 1 million hospital beds in the United States. If 10 million victims of the CCP virus need a hospital bed, the shortage was not caused by Nixon or a Republican president and a Democrat congress. Rewrite your premise or face deletion.

- This is ridiculous. Delete it if you want, but it won't be true. The places talking about this are conservative(and a handful of libertarian) news outlets.

- You said "There are 1 million hospital beds in the United States" - there ought to be double that. Certificate of Need creates an artificial scarcity. The sad fact is that socialized medicine is already failing America. Progressingamerica (talk) 19:13, 6 April 2020 (EDT)
