Please send this on. I took action, I hope you will too.

Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for all women.

Please send this to everyone in your address book. If you are receiving
this it's because I think you will take the 30 seconds to go and vote on this
issue, then send it on to others you think 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.
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.
