Breast Cancer Pledge - Please look

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.
