🎙️ Welcome to the first episode of The Cause and Effect Podcast! ✨

Today, we’re joined by Liam Sigaud, researcher and economist, to dive into a critical topic: Certificate of Need Laws (CON Laws). These regulations were designed to control healthcare costs, but are they actually restricting access to quality medical services? 🤔

🔎 In this episode, we explore:

✔️ What Certificate of Need Laws are and why they were created

✔️ How these laws impact hospitals and healthcare access

✔️ What research reveals about their real effects

✔️ Who truly benefits—and why these laws still exist

📢 We want to hear from you! After listening, let us know: do you think these laws help or hurt the healthcare system? Rate the podcast on Spotify and share it with a friend who’s interested in economics and public policy!
