Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to include a clarification from NC Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
Dr. Bruce Schroeder couldn’t give the best treatment to women with breast cancer. State regulations blocked him from buying up-to-date mammogram machines.
Under certificate-of-need laws, Schroeder had to get state permission before buying the machines. Schroeder couldn’t afford to apply for a CON, so he had to buy refurbished equipment. He even spent tens of thousands of dollars avoiding CON laws but then 3-D mammogram machines hit the market.
He knew his patients needed them.
But if he spent more than $500,000 on equipment, he would have to apply for a CON and endure months of waiting, legal fees, and potential lawsuits from competitors. Critics say the process favors the richest hospital systems and crushes smaller providers’ chances at competing.

Lambert Confirms Nsiala Interest But Dismisses Sterry and Rowe Links
Friday, 10th Jan 2020 12:11
Boss Paul Lambert has confirmed Bolton Wanderers’ interest in Town centre-half Toto Nsiala, TWTD having revealed that the Trotters were in for the 27-year-old on Wednesday, but played down reports that the Blues are eyeing AFC Fylde striker Danny Rowe and Newcastle right-back Jamie Sterry.
“I know there’s interest from them,” Lambert said when asked about Nsiala. “Toto I think has had a little bit of a hard time and a little bit of confidence [go] against him.
“But effort-wise I’ve never ever questioned that at all, he’s always given me everything he’s had. I just think for his own head, for clearing his head that maybe if something can happen, then it might happen.”

Lambert: Few Will Expect Us to Get Anything at Boro But Anybody s Beatable on the Day
Friday, 28th Dec 2018 12:11
Town boss Paul Lambert knows few people will expect his team to take anything from Saturday s trip to Middlesbrough, but says anybody’s beatable on any given day.
The bottom-of-the-table Blues go into the game seven points behind 21st-placed Rotherham United with a goal difference six worse than the Millers’, while Boro are fifth despite having lost 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday at the Riverside on Boxing Day and having won only one of their last seven in all competitions.
“Another game where a lot of people won’t expect us to get anything, but we’re playing well, I’ve got no worries on that issue,” Lambert said.
