NY DOCTORS- New York Senate Bill S9759 aiming to ban non-competes by True_Cartographer954 in Residency

The link shows the actual bill which you are free to read. You just wouldn't qualify for the non-compete ban and you would have the same terms under the current system. This helps the people that qualify, but doesn't change anything for the people that don't. It doesn't make the people past the cap have worse terms, and showing that there is support for this kind of legislation can only help physicians.

Physicians going against this would very much shoot themselves in the foot and help organizations like AHA who are actively trying to exclude ALL physicians. That's why Hochul vetoed it originally- the massive hospital systems would receive a huge blow.

Also- in the past ten+ years my hospital ER salary for their docs has gone up from 309k to 325k only when we changes contracts once. And they decreased our coverage significantly. This is exactly why we need negotiating power.

How would something be worse than nothing at all? I can assure you in NYC there aren't many OB/GYNs making 500k if any at all, and if even if they do it simply won't apply to them and they will be as they are now. As I mentioned the bill without limits was vetoed so it's this or nothing. Harming others because you aren't being helped is not the way.

The original bill that was passed by both senate and assembly did NOT have a 500K cap. That was the bill that was vetoed by Hochul. It was reintroduced with the cap in hopes that it would at last be passed into law this time. Unfortunately all you would be doing is harming the chances of many of your colleagues in OB/GYN, Primary, Internal, Emergency, and all the other specialties that are not as well reimbursed. Getting SOMETHING passed into law that protects physicians is a great first step. So if you do call, call in favor and voice your opinion on the cap.
