Did you know that many states have "Certificate of Need" laws, which give existing hospitals the power to veto the construction of new hospitals? They even have the power to prevent the purchase expensive equipment, like MRI machines.
As you might imagine, existing hospitals aren't very enthusiastic about allowing competitors to exist. I hope this lawsuit succeeds, and becomes a precedent for striking down similar laws.
