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.

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. http://www.lifetimetv.com/health/breast_mastectomy_pledgehtml 

 This takes about 2 seconds.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THANKS
