Congress is again being asked to consider the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act, which would require insurance companies to cover a 48-hour hospital stay for mastectomy patients.
It’s been brought before Congress every year from 1997 on, but with Democrats controlling both House and Senate this year, may have a chance. And, the American Medical Association is officially in favor of the bill.
If you’d like to sign a support petition to your Member of Congress, go here.
(My sister brought this to my attention, and no, it is not an urban legend.)
