Mastectomy Bill in Congress
> It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important...please take the time and
do it really quick!
>
> 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 webpage 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.
