Subject: Mastectomy Bill in Congress
Mastectomy Hospital Bill in Congress
A mastectomy is when a woman's breast is removed in
order to remove cancerous breast cells/tissue. 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 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.
Sign the petition by clicking on the web site
below. You need not give more than your name and zip
code.

your friends and family and, on behalf of all women,
THANKS.
