Mastectomy Bill in Congress
It takes 2 seconds to do this and it 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 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.
