GOP Opposes Medical Funding for 9/11 Victims

There is no depth the new conservatives won't stoop to in order to make this country fail, because it furthers their political agenda of "see, it's all Obama's fault, put us back in charge".

House Republican leadership is advising its members to vote against a bipartisan bill that would, among other things, bolster medical support to Sept. 11 victims.

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2009, sponsored by New York City Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D), provides medical monitoring to those exposed to toxins at Ground Zero, bolsters treatment at specialized centers for those afflicted by toxins on 9/11 and reopens a compensation fund to provide economic loss to New Yorkers.

And it's all paid for by closing a tax loophole on foreign companies with U.S. subsidiaries, Democrats say.

"I was under the impression that the emergency teams who responded to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 are considered American heroes."

I was under that impression too. Republicans, however, think differently.
