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 and help
women living with breast cancer get the care they need and deserve!! There
is no cost or monetary pledge involved. You need not give more than your
name and zip code number.
