Gillibrand Applauds 9/11 Health Bill Going Into Effect
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
With the health care programs under the 9/11 health bill going into effect today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) released the following statement:
"Today marks an historic day where the new World Trade Center Health Program officially begins, allowing the city's 9/11 health clinics and hospitals to continue to help monitor and treat thousands of 9/11 heroes and survivors who are suffering. The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act fulfills our moral obligation to the brave men and women who did not think twice before risking their lives in service to our country. We have a duty to continue to provide them the health care and compensation they and their family need."
