    Looking forward to reading about how Team Trump Treason swooped in and using his superior negotiating skills got all but 2 to vote for it and if he hadn’t gotten involved, it would have been 97-2 the other way, that he can assure us.

    Rand Paul offers a great reason why he voted it down but everyone will only deomonize him for it unfortunately.

    This bill NEEDED to get passed though.

    he voted it down hypocritically though, a vote by him dramatically INCREASED the deficit with the tax bill that he then used as a reason for voting no.

    But he had no problems supporting increasing the deficit before.

    Am I reading this correctly that it's "first responders" only and not anyone else?

    Something else I find wird is that Iron Workers took apart the WTC and there aren't any reports of them dying or cancer spikes like there are with the Firemen.

    no. its anyone there or in relative close proximity of the site that was affected. such as a high school a few blocks away.  where some of those students if the time are now developing cancers. like quite a few male former students with breast cancer and so on.
    believe it was toxins in the dust cloud.

    by the time iron workers were on scene for cleanup, I would think they were spraying the site down to prevent dust clouds.

    Your take on why is interesting.  I know they were there right after and cutting up metal so it s still odd that no Iron Workers were a statistic.

    My company had quite a few there helping out too.

    We just talked about this the other day because of the bill becoming a huge talking point.  No one we know that was there has had any complications, which is good.

    My cousin was walking around taking pictures the next day.  I don't think he ever applied and he was walking through all that crap.  No problems w him either.

    But I disagree w "yet".  Eventually life takes it's course and may not be proved to being a cause for cancer 40 years later.

    Would this John Stewart fight even be a thing if the US had a health care system similar to western democracies?

    from that lancet article...

    Summary

    Background

    More than 50 000 people participated in the rescue and recovery work that followed the Sept 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC). Multiple health problems in these workers were reported in the early years after the disaster. We report incidence and prevalence rates of physical and mental health disorders during the 9 years since the attacks, examine their associations with occupational exposures, and quantify physical and mental health comorbidities.

    Methods

    In this longitudinal study of a large cohort of WTC rescue and recovery workers, we gathered data from 27 449 participants in the WTC Screening, Monitoring, and Treatment Program. The study population included police officers, firefighters, construction workers, and municipal workers. We used the Kaplan-Meier procedure to estimate cumulative and annual incidence of physical disorders (asthma, sinusitis, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease), mental health disorders (depression, post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD], and panic disorder), and spirometric abnormalities. Incidence rates were assessed also by level of exposure (days worked at the WTC site and exposure to the dust cloud).

    Findings

    9-year cumulative incidence of asthma was 27·6% (number at risk: 7027), sinusitis 42·3% (5870), and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease 39·3% (5650). In police officers, cumulative incidence of depression was 7·0% (number at risk: 3648), PTSD 9·3% (3761), and panic disorder 8·4% (3780). In other rescue and recovery workers, cumulative incidence of depression was 27·5% (number at risk: 4200), PTSD 31·9% (4342), and panic disorder 21·2% (4953). 9-year cumulative incidence for spirometric abnormalities was 41·8% (number at risk: 5769); three-quarters of these abnormalities were low forced vital capacity. Incidence of most disorders was highest in workers with greatest WTC exposure. Extensive comorbidity was reported within and between physical and mental health disorders.

    Interpretation

    9 years after the 9/11 WTC attacks, rescue and recovery workers continue to have a substantial burden of physical and mental health problems. These findings emphasise the need for continued monitoring and treatment of the WTC rescue and recovery population.

    Funding

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

    Why does it matter if 2 voted against it...it got passed, did it not...

    Think about it for more than 2 seconds.  Of course, it's needed.
