In the hospital for 2 days after surgery.

Mastectomy Bill in Congress

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.
If there was ever a time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those times. If you're reading, I hope that you take the 30 seconds to go to vote on this issue.

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 web page with a petition
