Please help!

Did you know that insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure? As a nurse with more than 35 years of experience, and as someone who knows and loves several breast cancer survivors, I am convinced this is both unsafe and inhumane.

Please join me in signing this online petition voicing your support the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act, which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy.

And please tweet this post to your friends and followers and email it to your friends, asking them to support it as well.

Thank you, and God bless you!

  1. Thank you for the link, I signed the petition also. I was shocked reading about this. People are not machines and need time to heal. They must have care and support during the healing process. My sister is a nurse and is shocked by how quickly insurance companies want to throw patients out onto the streets after an operation.
