This took me less than a minute to do.
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 a ttached.
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. (Only *
items are required info) Scroll down to the bottom of the page.
