Proposition 55 Case Study

In 1969, Massachusetts fashioned the law 40B, famously referred to as the “Anti-Snob Zoning Act”, which allows developers to bypass land use restrictions in towns where less than ten percent of the housing meets the state definition of affordable. There are multiple positions and solutions to friction in Massachusetts largely inspired by controversy surrounding the State's affordable housing law, Massachusetts General Laws chapter 40B between housing advocates and open space advocates. This thesis reviews and critiques the current law, and diagnoses various legislative proposals for the progressive feud.

Facts: Kyle John Kelbel was convicted of first-degree murder, past pattern of child abuse, in violation of Minnesota state statute section 609.185(5) and second-degree murder, in violation of Minnesota statute 609.19, subdivision 2(1). He was sentenced to life in prison for the death of Kailyn Marie Montgomery. Kelbel appealed, and argued that the district court failed to instruct the jury that it must find that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the acts that constituted the past pattern of child abuse and he also argued that the evidence against him was insufficient to prove past pattern of child abuse

One of the most significant issues to issues to affect healthcare in today’s society is the impact that illegal aliens have on the already broken healthcare system.

Voting Yes is the first step to getting better funding for public education, it is estimated that this will improve opportunities for educational success for one million students in Arizona schools. Vote no advocates may have expressed their concerns about the next funding and the trust fund and in the process spooked some voters but the Vote Yes advocates are already addressing their concerns.The Joint Legislative Budget Committee reports that the trust is expected to grow by $1.2 billion over the next 10 years and Children's Action Alliance are already collaborating with others to find the next step for funding public schools. Prop. 123 is what Arizona’s public education desperately needs, we need to stand together and make the change we want to see. Make sure to vote before May 17th, the future of educational funding is depending on your vote. ”Unity is strength.. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved” (Mattie J.T.

Legislation has been approved in California to make illegal aliens ineligible for public social services, public health care services, and public school education at elementary, secondary, and post secondary levels.  News of the passage of this legislation has been received with mixed feelings not only in California, but throughout the United States. Due to the unconstitutional nature of the California law, it is necessary that it be thrown out.

I would have rather paid a measly 200.00 to the government than to have Proposition 13. This is a slap in the face as a teacher, they are truly hurting the wrong things. Most people knew that it would do this and it did. I was resentful and how many ways can we express ourselves? I thought this was like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. What was even worse was that it undercut and there had to be reductions to meet constraints and we had to go backwards. Also the two-thirds vote should have been majority. Another impact was that other states followed California and the taxpayers wanted to send a message, I believe Oregon passed one. There is only one way to get around this proposition and that is mellow rues."

Close to half of each dollar spent on healthcare is inefficiently used both at a clinical and administrative level. Three other areas that funds are not appropriately in are insurer overhead and profit and over priced pharmaceuticals. Projected figures for the first year estimate that just in administrative costs alone the citizenry should see approximately twenty billion dollars worth of savings in the first year. Another area that will put approximately $5.2 billion dollars back into the budget will be that this program will allow the state purchasing power for mass quantity pharmaceuticals and durable equipment. Finally by increasing the emphasis on preventative care and making a primary care physician available to all will add another $3.4 billion. Last but definitely not least, it is estimated that this bill will dramatically reduce fraud approximately $800 billion dollars in healthcare spending. Total savings for the first year are projected to be approximately $29 billion dollars. The projected plan is to use this money for the purpose of providing healthcare to the populous that is currently without health insurance. With these savings and more efficient use of funds all residents will have comprehensive healthcare that at this point was leaving twelve million without it as well as not increase spending (Amaro

Major policy debates are what normally cause the Legislature to miss the 100-day goal, e.g. Governor Brewer’s work to expand Medicaid in 2013. This year, major healthcare debates at the Arizona Legislature are unlikely due to the uncertainty surrounding the repeal and replace of the Affordable Care Act. However, there are always healthcare issues debated at the Legislature. Some of the issues on the forefront this year include proposals to address “surprise billings”, mandatory flu vaccines, newborn screenings, and behavioral health transportation.

If Medicaid is not expanded to the millions who have low incomes and aren’t insured, then starting in 2014 Americans who don’t pay for health insurance and aren’t eligible for Medicaid will then be issued a tax. In 2014 Americans will have to pay 95 dollars or one percent of their income, which ever is higher. The tax will only increase from there. In 2015 Americans will have to pay 325 dollars or two percent of their income, and in 2016 the tax will increase to 695 dollars or 2 and a half percent of their income. Americans who make $200,000 or more annually and couples with incomes above $250,000 will have a tax increase to help cover the costs of the program.

Pro: Benefits uninsured patients and low-income families with Medi-Cal with over $3 billion and limits the involvement of the Legislature.

Proposition 50 was the only California state proposition on the primary ballot last June. Due to current law, no official can be suspended and stripped of their benefits or salary, causing them to be able to get away with actions they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with. Due to many recent actions involving the issues of suspension Prop 50 was drafted. This proposition was designed to refuse legislative members’ salaries, pensions, or other privileges of their office if they have been suspended by a two-thirds vote from the state legislation. Voting yes would allow the legislature the ability to suspend a member and his pay. It gained bipartisan support on this proposition because of recent events that have shed new light on how corrupt

What would you do if you arrived at work one day and your supervisor told you that you need to increase your productivity?

This national health care tax is supposed to be an answer to most of our health care insurance issues. Although most people agree that our health care system is in turmoil and needs to be reformed, some people do not agree that the solution is a national health care tax. Americans seem to be even more upset over the cost and access to care even more than the quality of care that is given. It is amazing to note that most Americans when asked what they think the most important health care issue facing the United States, the cost and access to care remains the most common response.
