Should the government provide healthcare for 9/11 first responers/ pass H.R.847

Recommended Posts

Conpiracy aside, these people are dying of many different illnesses, some volunteered over 400 hour of work, and over 100 are now dead, much much more are dying or sick.

They have been desparately trying to pass the HR847 health bill.

What do you guys think.

Trillions have been spent on a knee jerk reaction yet the all important volunteers that helped save lives and clean up the mess have been ignored?

People are serously sick, dying or dead!

What are to moral implications of this?

Seems like a no brainer to me. How can anyone think that they should'nt be cared for?



All they have recieved from the US government in this department is a thank you card!

They will continue to die, check out the link at the bottom of the first post, it has all sorts of information on the refusal of the US government to assist them.

Maybe when more of them are dead it will be cheaper to deal with and then they might help

They are cared for. Emergency workers (EMT's, firefighters, police) are covered 100% for any work-related illness. This is an additional coverage for after they retire, for other unrelated diseases etc. As an example, the person the bill was named for (James Zagroda) was a detective who died due to drug abuse. He was covered for his lung condition as a result of working near ground zero but not for his addiction. This bill would increase his coverage. Other people who would be covered would include drivers who trucked out the debris and workers who dug out the subway tunnels. It would also implement a quality assurance program, establish some advisory committees, establish a steering committee, establish community program committees, do community outreach, fund data collection, and create a WTC Health Registry.

Yes, a thank-you care with roughly half a billion dollars stuffed inside it.



GAWD I wish he would put his theme music on his posts and threads.
