Current Events > Mass-ters, we have three ballot questions this year. Here they are:

Topic List	Page List: 1
Sayoria 07/09/18 10:28:24 PM #1:	*Question 1: Patient-to-Nurse Limits* Question 1 would place a limit on the number of patients a single nurse can be assigned at a time and impose a $25,000 fine on hospitals that violate those ratios. The exact ratios would vary depending on the hospital department and the type of patients for which the nurse is caring. For example, the maximum number of patients a nurse could be assigned in the pediatric department would be four, while the limit in the emergency services department would range between one and five, depending on the seriousness of the patients conditions. As WGBH recently reported, nurses unions say the initiative, if passed, would result in increased safety and better overall outcomes for patients, while the hospital industry says it could result in longer wait times and even the closing of some hospitals. Question 2: Commission on Limiting Election Spending and Corporate Rights Question 2 would create a citizen commission to push a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision on campaign finance. Critics say the controversial ruling, which held that the government could not restrict political spending by corporations, increased the undue influence of money in politics and is a serious and direct threat to our democracy. If passed, Massachusettss top elected officials would appoint members to the 15-person commission, which would go on to research the current campaign finance system and recommend an amendment to overturn Citizens United. Question 3: Transgender Anti-Discrimination Question 3 proposes to repeal the 2016 state law that banned discrimination against transgender people in places of public accommodation, such as restaurants, malls, and restrooms. Polls have shown that it could be the most competitive measure on the ballot. The groups backing the initiative say the public accommodations bill is broadly worded and allows individuals to access bathrooms or locker rooms of the opposite sex. Supporters of the 2016 law say there isnt one incident of assault or invasion of privacy that has occurred as a result of the law. Due to potential confusion due to the required wording of the referendum, Galvin noted that a yes vote on Question 3 would actually keep in place the current law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity in public places. Meanwhile, a no vote would repeal that part of the law. https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2018/07/09/massachusetts-ballot-questions-2018 Yes, Yes, YES! --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr <cite>Sayoria posted [p:904793760] in Mass-ters,...

thronedfire2 07/09/18 10:37:35 PM #4:	#1 is a definite yes. They purposely understaff nurses to save money. This is already a regulation in nursing homes that the state checks during inspection every year because its a huge safety issue if there arent enough CNAs, and they will cut people any time they can get away with it --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... <cite>thronedfire2 posted [p:904794262] in Mass-ters,...

No strong opinion of the others at this time. 1 would be good because I don't like the idea of having one nurse being stationed to say, 10 people because the hospital would be against getting new help. A limit could aid in bringing in more health-based jobs as well. I don't see it as a bad thing. 2 would be good because it would gove more power to the people and less to the corporations trying to throw funds and ads for "their" choice candidates. --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr <cite>Sayoria posted [p:904794290] in Mass-ters,...

KamenRiderBlade 07/09/18 11:08:42 PM #14:	Answer #1: As long as the limit is based on a rigorous study of what is a optimum limit based on a nurse of ___ caliber / experience, that'll be fine. Answer #2: Corporations shouldn't be allowed to donate money at all to any campaign finances. Only Citizenry should be allowed to donate. The fact that Corporations are legally recognized as people is horrific. Answer #3: Unisex Pee / Poo bathroom & stalls along with Unisex Lockers / Changing Rooms should be the norm.

The groups backing the initiative say the public accommodations bill is broadly worded and allows individuals to access bathrooms or locker rooms of the opposite sex. Supporters of the 2016 law say there isnt one incident of assault or invasion of privacy that has occurred as a result of the law. Due to potential confusion due to the required wording of the referendum, Galvin noted that a yes vote on Question 3 would actually keep in place the current law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity in public places. Meanwhile, a no vote would repeal that part of the law. who writes this shit that's so deeply misleading. KamenRiderBlade posted...
