Image of the Day: The Vast Federal Bloat That DOGE Targets

"Get Big Government Out of Our Healthcare, Reduce Costs and Improve Care."
NASHVILLE – Today, the Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF) launched a new digital advertising campaign calling for the full repeal of Tennessee’s Certificate of Need (CON) laws. The ads highlight how the state’s remaining CON laws continue to harm Tennessee’s healthcare system by limiting access to care for the patients who depend on it.
“The 113th General Assembly passed much-needed reform of Tennessee’s CON laws, but the state’s remaining CON requirements continue to reduce access to affordable, high-quality care, limit healthcare choices for patients, and unnecessarily increase the role of government in our healthcare system,” said CFIF President Jeff Mazzella. “Tennessee’s strong conservative leaders should build on the progress they made last session and finish the job by fully repealing these harmful laws when the General Assembly convenes in January.”
Fully repealing Tennessee’s CON laws enjoys widespread support across the Volunteer State. Tennessee patients and their families sent tens of thousands of letters urging their representatives to act on full repeal during the last legislative session.
"Patients should decide where and when they receive care, not a government board of unelected bureaucrats empowered by CON laws," Mazzella continued.
CFIF is urging all Tennesseans to contact their state representatives to ask them to finish the job by fully repealing the state’s CON laws in the upcoming legislative session.
The Center for Individual Freedom is a constitutional and free-market advocacy organization with more than 300,000 supporters and activists across the nation, including thousands in Tennessee.
