Biden’s push to ban noncompete agreements could have big implications for health care

Noncompete agreements that prevent a worker from leaving their job for a competitor have become standard for many doctors and nurses.

Well that would be great if anything happens from it. Haven’t heard of any positives from the govt regarding physicians in a while

I have a loved one who was essentially an indentured servant because of a non-compete. If it wasn’t for an excellent contract lawyer, we would have been absolutely screwed, but it still was a significant financial and psychological hardship. Id strongly support this legislation.

Me too. It's sad that the AMA doesn't. Non-competes sole purpose is to keep physicians in an untenable position.

One of the (few) perks of being a doc in CA—no non-competes.

Well, at least they’re unenforceable here.

Might also raise physician wages, depending on the market. If we don’t have to move 50-100 miles to change jobs then the local competition is now fair game.

“company ABC down the street is offering me 30K more per year and my patients are going to follow me.”

I’m sure there are some drawbacks, but I don’t see them as of yet. But I’m not gonna hold my breath to see if they actually take action or not.
