Today the House passed State Rep. Dan Frankel's & my legislation to end the use of non-competes for health professionals in PA. This makes it easier for all to see the physician they want and empowers clinicians to practice where they can best serve patients.

Great leadership from Chairman Frankel and the PA House - especially in the midst of a healthcare workforce crisis, powerful healthcare companies should not be allowed to abuse their market power to prevent competition for workers.

Kudos to the members of the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus for building a strong coalition that will surely make strides in addressing one of the most pressing issues in health care today.

In a win for patients, health care providers, and the state, a bipartisan majority of the House today passed my bill to ban restrictive noncompete agreements from medical employer contracts with doctors, nurses and other health care practitioners.

Everyone should be able to agree that there are some individuals who shd not be allowed to access firearms, so why on earth would background checks be dependent on where a gun was bought? President Biden's rule change will make us all safer, but we still need the PA Senate to pass HB714!
