Health

medicaid-redesignNew York State, unsurprisingly, has a complicated and demanding set of laws and regulations governing the provision of health services. This array of laws and regulations can seem overwhelming even to the people who work in the industry. Almost every aspect of the field is overseen by one regulatory body or another, and sometimes by several. Health care professionals may feel that they spend more time complying with rules that direct their work than actually doing the work itself.

The pervasive nature of health care regulation stems from the fundamental concerns that are at stake. Government oversight is necessary when factors as essential as life and health are involved. But that oversight should be limited to what is necessary, and should be structured in a way that encourages compliance and excellence, not punishment. Often, advocacy is required to keep Government’s reach to the necessary minimum.
