Voters reject Massachusetts ballot Question 1 on nurse-patient ratios
Editor's Note
The Massachusetts ballot Question 1 that would have set strict limits on the number of hospital patients a nurse could care for at one time went down in defeat on November 6, the November 7 Boston Globe reports.
Hospitals spent nearly $25 million to defeat the measure, more than double the $12 million spent by the Massachusetts Nursing Association labor union to promote it. The no vote got 70%, and the yes vote got 30%.
