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.

 This takes about 2 seconds. PLEASE PASS THIS ON to your friends and family. 
THANKS
