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 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 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 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.

I have to think if something like this happened to MEN, they'd have a

week in the hospital, private room, and a month's vacation being waited

on hand and foot.

I signed, did you?
