Sick 9/11 responders had to make several trips to D.C. to lobby Congress and secure funding for the key health program.

The article from MSN discusses the recent legislative action that has secured permanent funding for the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP). This program, established to provide medical care and monitoring for individuals affected by the 9/11 attacks, including first responders, survivors, and others exposed to toxins at the disaster sites, had been facing funding uncertainties. The new budget agreement ensures that the WTCHP will no longer need to seek periodic funding renewals, providing financial stability and peace of mind for those who rely on its services. This development comes after years of advocacy by affected individuals and their supporters, highlighting the long-term health consequences of the 9/11 attacks, such as respiratory issues, cancers, and mental health conditions. The permanent funding is seen as a significant victory, ensuring that the program can continue to offer necessary medical care without the threat of financial shortfall.
