9/11 Health Program Cuts Spark Outrage: Fired Worker Warns of 'Life and Death' Delays
The 9/11 health program, designed to support first responders and survivors, is facing significant staff cuts, with up to 20% of workers impacted by probationary worker cuts and buyouts. This move has sparked outrage, with U.S. senators sounding the alarm on potential 'life and death' delays in medical care. The program's funding and staffing issues have raised concerns about the long-term health consequences for those affected by the 9/11 attacks, highlighting the need for adequate healthcare services and support. With the World Trade Center Health Program facing uncertainty, advocates are pushing for urgent action to address these cuts and ensure timely medical care for those in need, including cancer treatment and mental health services.
