Mastectomy Hospital Bill in  Congress

If you know anyone who has had a mastectomy, you may know  that there is a lot of discomfort and pain afterwards. Insurance companies  are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure. Let's give women  the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after  surgery.

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're receiving this, it's because I think you will take the 30 seconds  to go to vote on this issue and sen d 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 just a few 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 Ho! use sign ed  on.

PLEASE!! Sign  the petition by clicking on the web site below. You need not give more  than your name and zip code  number.
