Subject: Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act
This only takes a minute, so please vote!!


      There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which
will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay or
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.
