US Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, along with Congressman Andrew Garbarino and Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, have introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation to address funding shortfalls in the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP). The bill, named ‘Never Forget the Heroes: Robert Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act’, aims to extend the WTCHP’s authorization indefinitely and rectify its budgeting issues. The program, which provides healthcare services to 9/11 first responders and survivors, is set to expire in 2025 and is currently facing a $2.6 billion deficit due to sequestration.
Be part of the action ensuring the brave responders and survivors of 9/11 have access to the healthcare they need and deserve.
