STOP 'Drive Thru Mastectomies"

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 just a few hoursafter 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. But, we still need to push to get this bill passed.

PLEASE!!  Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below.  You need not give more than your name and zip code number.
