While I don't normally get involved with letters asking me to mail copies to everyone I know, I thought this might be something TT-ers would be interested in and there are alot of us. I thought it especially pertinent with our recent discussions about breast cancer and our own Jodi's hard work to get a Bear Hugs for Breast Cancer auction going.

This is a single paragraph from the rather long letter:

"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."

If you are interested in learning more about this bill and signing a petition, you can go to the following link. Men can also sign this peitition.
