DBK alerts us to some potentially good news and you need to act:
Representative Jo Ann Davis (R-VA-1) is the sponsor of H.R. 119, the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act. The legislation requires "that health plans provide coverage for a minimum hospital stay for mastectomies, lumpectomies, and lymph node dissection for the treatment of breast cancer and coverage for secondary consultations." The minimum stay period is 48 hours.You can't even count on health insurers to do the right thing anymore. A measly 48 hours isn't too much to ask for if one needs it.
