Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important
Legislation for all women.
Please send this to everyone in your address book. If
there was ever a time when our voices and choices
should be heard, this is one of those times. If you
are receiving this it's because I think you will take
the 30 seconds to go and vote on this issue...and send
it on to others you know who will do the same.
There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient
Protection Act which will require insurance companies
to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay
for patients undergoing a mastectomy.
It's about eliminating the "drive-through mastectomy"
where women are forced to go home
hours after surgery against the wishes of their doctor,
still groggy from anesthesia
and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web
page with a petition drive to show your support. Last
year over half the House signed on.
PLEASE!!!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web
site below. You need not give more than your name and
zip code number.
