Drive-By Mastectomy

This morning I got the following email from my sister in law, Megan, who has been living with breast cancer for 8 years. She is 40, is married and has 3 children, now 9, 11 and 13. She’s had a mastectomy and every other thing they can do to you in the name of medical care. If she wants this bill passed, I’m in.
