And i was a member of the California State Assembly at that time, and all of the ideas i had are trying to create opportunities for women, becoming a feminist. I took those ideas to the California State Legislature and was able to get many of them signed into law, and one that ill just share with you was, at the time that i was in the California State Assembly, Insurance Companies would not pay for the buildup after a mastectomy.
