Certificates of Need were something _hospitals_ themselves lobbied for. It's a case of "this is awesome when it protects me, and an aberration when I'm on the losing end".

Certainly politicians enacted such things, but I'm not losing sleep over the hospitals. Only us mortals, stuck with the cost of the system.
