Ladies, please read this. Breast Cancer Patent Protection Act?

Question

This bill will allow women and their doctors to decide whether she should recuperate for at least 48 hours in the hospital or whether she has enough support to get quality care at home following this emotionally and physically difficult surgery.
Put a stop to "Drive Through Mastectomies!!"

Answer 1

Cheryl,

This was a VERY interesting read information. I didn't know that some places "drove" people away from hospitals after such an emotion procedure. I called my health insurance company and questioned them about this. With my plan, I'm offered a MANDATORY 48 hour hospital stay.

I think this information would be something nice to add to ANY Breast Cancer Walk. :-)

Thanks for sharing.

Answer 2

Yep, I've read it before and am pretty amazed. Some insurance companies like the one I use already allow women to stay up to 48 hours if the doctor chooses to have the patient do that. I also found that with my insurance sometimes a patient can ask for it. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Answer 3

Where can I read this bill? Women that have to endure this type of surgery need a lot more than 48 hours to recoup. Hospitals just don't care anymore.
