N.Y. Sens Demand RFK Jr. Restore Cuts To 9/11 Program

New York Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both Democrats, are asking Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to undo cuts made to a program for Sept. 11 first responders.

“To say funding for 9/11 first responders is government waste is outrageous and insulting,” Schumer said in a statement. “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.”

Schumer and Gillibrand were responding to cuts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made to the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides screenings, research and medications to more than 100,000 survivors diagnosed with conditions related to the work done at the site after the attacks.
