      Well, the idea behind the law is that you keep your current pay. I just think it’s impractical in situations where pay is driven by commission or where margins are cutthroat

          Yeah, those are both valid points. Although I’d also say that bills like that do get introduced, probably with much greater odds of passing than this one.

          Sure, I work in healthcare and any clinician (nurse, doc, etc.) would be seriously impacted. It’s an industry where most companies are in the red, especially post-COVID. Cutting hours would be impossible.

          But, there is also an argument to be made that we need to radically restructure things. CEO pay has ballooned relative to entry level jobs and this pushes for a rebalancing of that. Healthcare CEOs, at least in most non-profit/teaching health systems, aren’t paid anything like other CEOs.
