Mastectomy Bill in Congress

Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important
legislation for all women.

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.

This takes about 2 seconds.  PLEASE PASS THIS ON to
your friends and family, and on behalf of all women,
THANKS.
