Stop Drive-through Mastectomies
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 to this site 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 going to the web site below. You need not
give more than your name and zip code number.
