There is going to be cuts in the Zadroga bill as it stands now. 9/11 responders who worked at Ground Zero are now dying and others could be getting sick and coming down with Cancer.
The proposal is for five years and that just will not do. These people deserve the needed health care now and further in the future that extends more than five years.
I’m find this quite troubling and appalling and a insult to these hero’s and their families who bear the burden and should not be forgotten.
U. S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney [D-Astoria ] and other congressional leaders has asked for a fully funded Zadroga Health Compensation Act extension.
Now I fully applaud their actions and hopefully it gets done and those who are against this finally see the light.
These heroic responders need to get what they deserve for serving America in its’ time of need and now they need Congress to step up and do the right thing !
