Politics and Woman's Issues, this may or maynot be the place for this, so please forgive me if it isn't but this is an important issue to me.

Subject: Mastectomy Bill In Congress

Sign the Petition Here!
If you have not yet done this, it is really important, especially
now that the Supreme Court has now made it nearly impossible for
HMO's to be held accountable for their actions.

NOTE: WHEN YOU SIGN-UP, PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME AND ZIP
CODE .....Other info is OPTIONAL....

Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for
all Not just women.

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

Thanks For reading.

Ms.Eden

Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I signed it. I remember the bill against drive through deliveries and that passed!

Done, and also forwarded the link to a large group for more signatures. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is so easy to get busy and let things like this slip by.
