In Tuesday’s midterm election, approximately 70 percent of Massachusetts voters selected “no” on the first ballot question that proposed to limit nurse-to-patient ratios.
Massachusetts residents voted on three ballot measures in Tuesday’s midterm election, rejecting a proposition to limit the ratio of nurses to patients and approving propositions having to do with limiting political spending and protecting the rights of transgender people in the Commonwealth.
Ballot Question 1 will impact every nurse, hospital and patient in Massachusetts. But, while this initiative is being championed by the Massachusetts Nurses Association — the state’s largest nurses’ union — nearly every hospital across the state opposes it.
Proponents of several proposed ballot initiatives will begin the final stage of their petitioning efforts Wednesday to secure spots on the November 2018 ballot. The proposed ballot questions include a gradual minimum wage increase, paid family leave for working individuals and balanced nurse-to-patient ratios in Massachusetts hospitals.
