Hoping this bill gets passed.....

Shame on all in Congress that this Bill has NOT been passed already.
I have to ask myself....."has breast cancer not touched any of their
lives?".....

While it is best to get in and out of a hospital as fast as possible to avoid additonal problems...eg: infections...but it is so foolish and dangerous
to be pushed out when a patient needs a bit more time to heal SAFELY.

We still have a way to go!
