These laws are put in place sith the goal of killing people by delay of treatment and diagnostics. IE death by denial of care/services.
Like what Canadians used to flee to come down here for treatment and such that they could pay for, and get, quickly.
While that may be the effect. it is certainly not the goal.
The goal is restraint of trade and stifling competition. The notion that is keeps costs down by preventing “overinvestment” is ludicrous.
