[Elfsea] Breast Cancer hospitalization bill

[Michelle Dodd]

Breast Cancer hospitalization bill - important legislation for all women and 
those who love them.   Please forward 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 
are a caring, person who will take the 30 seconds to go and show your 
support on this issue...and send it on to others you know will do the same.

There's a bill before Congress 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.

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.
