Home ยป Because mastectomy should never be an outpatient procedure!

My letter

Submitted by Lolita on 3 October 2007 - 9:09pm.
Very easy. This is what I wrote: Please pass the legislation (HR 758 and S.459) that would mandate insurance companies to pay for at least two nights of hospitalization for women having mastectomies. I don't think that mastectomy should ever be an outpatient or overnight procedure and that insurance companies should not be allowed to override doctors when it comes to providing proper care for a patient. Mastectomy surgery is major surgery. Women need the kind of care that can best be provided by nurses and doctors in the days immediately following a mastectomy.
