Trump and CDC Reverse 9/11 Health Program Cuts After Public Outcry
In a significant reversal, the Trump administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have restored funding to the 9/11 health program, which was previously cut by the Department of Government Efficiency. The decision, announced on February 20 and 21, comes after widespread criticism from advocacy groups and lawmakers. The program provides essential health services to first responders and survivors of the 9/11 attacks, and its restoration is a major victory for those affected. With the support of key stakeholders, including government officials and health experts, the program will continue to receive necessary funding, ensuring access to critical healthcare services for those in need, including medical treatment and mental health support.
