Please take the time to sign this important petition so that our voices can be

heard about

how ludicrous this is to send women home too early from this serious

operation. The

next could be for men and I'M sure children.

Thanks for you attention, Pamela Burgess

 

 

 

 

 

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 pai n 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 s econds 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.

 

PLEASE!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below.

You need not give more than your name and zip code number.
