Did you know that insurance companies are trying to implement A '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. Can you imagine having a part of your body actually cut off and it being considered an outpatient procedure?

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. Lifetime Television has put this bill on their Web page with a petition drive to show your support.

Let's give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after surgery. You never know, it could be you, me or someone you know who will be in need of this bill to pass.

PLEASE!! Sign the petition - it'll only take 30 seconds! CLICK HERE!
