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.

PLEASE!!!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below. You need not

give more than your name and zip code number.

THANKS
