Call for a 9/11 health czar
So whose responsibility is health care and health insurance, especially for rescue workers in the wake of 9/11? In case you haven’t read the article I will summarize the information. Basically three rescue workers have recently died due to illness resulting from their involvement with the 9/11 attacks. Many others are becoming more and more ill with illnesses that attack their hearts, lungs, or throat. Meanwhile a bipartisan group of Congress members wrote a letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt calling for treatment of these responders.
So that’s about right, wait no its not. These people put their lives in harms way to save people that they didn’t even know. Their not just emergency responders they are heroes. I believe that its time to America to take care of her own and help these heroes’s as they already took care of us.
Let me know what you think…
