The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a final rule on April 23 banning non-compete agreements nationwide. There are exceptions to the ban, including nonprofits, which fall outside the agency’s purview, and current senior executives in “policymaking roles” making more than $151,164 annually. This rule is expected to have a significant impact on health care as many clinicians in the U.S. are contractually bound by non-compete agreements.

A third of LGBT adults report being treated unfairly by health care professionals. These patients are less likely to seek medical care, leading to worse health care outcomes. We have to do a better job treating ALL patients with respect. https://t.co/AO7RE5j4ct
