Fire Unions Express Outrage Over Exclusion of 9/11 Health Fund in Budget Agreement

Fire unions and advocates are expressing their deep frustration following Congress's recent decision to exclude funding for the 9/11 victim's healthcare program from the latest budget agreement aimed at keeping the government operational. This omission has sparked outrage among those who believe that the health and well-being of first responders and survivors of the September 11 attacks should be a top priority.

The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund has been crucial in providing medical care and support to thousands of individuals who have suffered health issues as a result of their exposure to toxic substances at Ground Zero. Many firefighters, police officers, and other emergency personnel have developed serious illnesses, and the funding is vital for their ongoing treatment and support.

Union leaders are now calling on lawmakers to prioritize the health of these heroes, emphasizing that neglecting this issue sends the wrong message about the nation's commitment to those who risked their lives during one of the most tragic events in American history. The fight for adequate funding is far from over, as advocates vow to continue pushing for the necessary resources to ensure that those affected receive the care they deserve.
