Michael McAuliff The Huffington Post - 21 April, 2011 WASHINGTON -- A provision in the new 9/11 health bill may be adding
insult to injury for people who fell sick after their service in the
aftermath of the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks, The Huffington Post has learned.
The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and
others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history and
risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their names
must be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list, according to a
letter obtained by HuffPost.
Any of the responders who are not compared to the database of
suspected terrorists would be barred from getting treatment for the
numerous, worsening ailments that the James Zadroga 9/11 Health And
Compensation Law was passed to address. |
