IMPORTANT BREAST CANCER HOSPITALIZATION BILL

IMPORTANT BREAST CANCER HOSPITALIZATION BILL
This bill is important legislation for all women and also for all men
whose loved ones might be or are victims of this disease. I am one of
those men. Breast cancer killed my dear wife twelve years ago!
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. You are receiving this because I earnestly hope that 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 its 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 and help women living with
breast cancer get the care they need and deserve!! There is no cost or
monetary pledge involved. You need not give more than your name and zip
code number.
