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
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.
