    Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill

    This was given to me by a friend of mine, and wanted to hear nurses opinions on this, and also give everyone a chance to review the materials themselves.

    Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill

    Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for all 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 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 first and last name and zip code number.
