Bipartisan Legislators Introduce Bill To Fund The World Trade Center Health Program

WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 28: Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) (C) joins Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) (L) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) to calls for additional federal funding for people who were sickened by their work following the 9/11 terror attacks during a news conference with first responders, survivors, their advocates at the U.S. Capitol on February 28, 2023 in Washington, DC. Last year, lawmakers delivered $1 billion for the World Trade Center Health Program but this new legislation will address a long-term funding shortfall, allow excluded Pentagon and Shanksville responders to join the program and make technical corrections to the program.
