Were it not for senators pushing for coverage by insurance companies (Rosa DeLauro, in my case), patients would be lost!! I had to remind my insurer of the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act, just to get them to cover extra days in the hospital following my lumpectomy.

Dear Ms. Kouric, Thank you for taking time to share a very important portion of your life with us in the hopes of saving lives. Today I underwent a sigmoidoscopy and fortunately everything was normal. It was because of your PSAs that I had the test done. I was five years overdue. Thank you.
