I just got this on my email and consider it important fro all females,
but the males can join in and respond also......

If you know anyone who has had a mastectomy, you may know that there is
a lot of discomfort and pain afterwards. Insurance companies are trying
to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure. Let's give women the
chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after surgery.

It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important...please take the
time and do it really quick!

Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for all
women.

Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever a
time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those
times. If you're receiving this, it's because I think you will take the
30 seconds to go to 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 for patients undergoing a mastectomy.
It's about eliminating the "drive-through mastectomy" where women are
forced to go home just a few 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 page with a petition
drive to show your support. Last year over half the House signed on.

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