Subject Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill.

If a performer like Melissa Ethridge can come out on stage with a bald head and rock the Grammys, you can take 30 seconds to sign this petition. MASTECTOMY BILL IN CONGRESS. In a world where Viagra is covered by insurance companies, but not prenatal vitamins, it's about time we made lawmakers listen to the needs of women.

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 are receiving this, it's because I think you will take the 30 seconds express your opinion. . .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 their web page with a petition drive to show your support. Last year over half the House signed on.
