The GOP has long used 9/11 as a banner issue that has brought them both political and monetary riches. It would seem logical that these "patriotic" American public servants would naturally be interested in the health problems of the brave folks who worked around the clock on the site of the World Trade Centers to rescue the living and retrieve the dead.
Well, think again! The Republicans have successfully blocked a bill in the Senate that would give medical care to rescue workers and residents of New York City who became ill as a result of breathing in toxic debris and dust from ground zero. The "James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act", is named after a New York Police Department detective died as a result of his participation in the rescue efforts at ground zero.
Nice work GOP! Why do you hate American Heroes?

It's not that they hate American heros.
It's that they have to pander to organizations that will spend 10 dollars to save 1 dollar preventing care to anyone.
We'll just leave out the fact that those hero's are blue collar workers who shouldn't even have rights as citizens in their eyes.
