ok, I'm going to just copy a chain-like e-mail I got from one of my english teachers. That phrase slightly disturbed me. I know this is a bit OT, but whatever.
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.
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 are receiving this it's because I think you will take the 30
seconds to go and 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 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
drive to show your support. Last year over half the House signed on.
PLEASE!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below. You need not
give more than your name and zip code number.
