Schumer, Gillibrand urge Kennedy to reverse cuts to 9/11 Survivor Health Program
“To say funding for 9/11 first responders is government waste is outrageous and insulting,” Schumer said in a news release about the joint letter.
“These brutal cuts mean layoffs for staff who have dedicated their careers to caring for our 9/11 survivors. It means delayed care for our sick first responders. It is telling 9/11 survivors that after they risked everything to protect us, we can’t support their healthcare needs,” Schumer said.
