Iowa challenge to CON law seeks to open eye clinic
Cedar Rapids physician Dr. Lee Birchansky and Michael Jensen join with the Institute for Justice to sue Iowa over the 1977 certificate-of-need law. They say the CON process blocks a ready-to-open outpatient eye surgery center and limits competition, while opponents cite hospital control and patient access concerns. The suit targets the Iowa Department of Public Health, arguing constitutional protection of earning a living and patient choice.
