I hope this isn't against the rules on MDC as it's an important health issue that all women should be aware of.
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.
You can sign the petition here to urge Congress to pass the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2007
