Would need more info, but I can understand the state not rubberstamping all applications for expansions. Lot of health systems still havent financially recovered from Covid. We have one level 1 trauma hospital in Wake County with two more within short driving distances. This is one area of NC that isnt hurting when it comes to healthcare choices.
it's basically rent control. You are artificially reducing competition for services.
I get that, but this area doesnt lack for healthcare resources. When my parents were sick, both got treated locally (father at Baptist in Winston, mother in Columbus county), both ended up here because the hospitals here (Duke for my father, UNC for my mother) had more resources/providers that could help. I would imagine their scenarios are not unique.
