Health Cover for 9/11 Rescuers Approved
This morning on radio news I heard that the coverage of health care costs for rescue workers and volunteers affected by the 9/11 attacks had been approved by the US House of Representatives. I was surprised, because it never occurred to me that they already weren't. The news said that many of the rescue workers have become ill because of the toxic fumes they inhaled during the work and some of them have even lost their homes, because they didn't have a medical insurance. What was even more surprising (or maybe not) was that some Republicans opposed the law:
