Opinion: Medicare regulations hamper providers without helping patients
Many Medicare quality measures are only loosely related to actual patient outcomes. It’s time to deregulate the system, writes Emory professor David Howard.

Lost amid the turmoil of DOGE’s federal workforce cuts was a mid-February executive order directing DOGE to repeal regulations that impede innovation, are overly burdensome, or not clearly authorized by statute.
Now it appears that DOGE and the Trump administration are taking action on that order. The administration has even created a website, regulations.gov, where members of the public can suggest regulations to revoke.
