Eva Teig Hardy, former Virginia health secretary, on the endless debate over Certificate of Public Need regulations of Virginia hospitals, as quoted in the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
I think we need to go somewhere with this. Otherwise we are making changes that are just very superficial to the process but not to the substance of COPN. Changes like this have been talked about (since) I was secretary 30 years ago. We talked about this 15 years ago. We talked about it 10 years ago. We haven’t moved.
