Petition link for Breast Cancer mastectomy insurance coverage

January 30, 2002

Don't know if this has been posted here yet, but thought I should

pass it on here.

Subject: Fw: Breast Cancer - Please read and don't delete!

Please scroll down and take the time to read this.....seems like a

simple thing for all of us to do.

Please forward this to all your contacts...

If there was ever a time when our voices and

choices should be heard, this is one of those

times...if you are receiving this. It's because

I think you are a loving, caring, person who

will take the 30 seconds to go and vote on

this issue...and send it on to others you know

who will do the same.

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.

PS: PLEASE PASS THIS ON
