  Up to 20% of staff at the WTC Health Program were impacted by cuts of probationary workers and buyouts, U.S. senators said in a letter.

The article discusses the concerns raised by John Mormando, a former employee of the World Trade Center Health Program, who was fired after 13 years of service. Mormando alleges that recent cuts to the program, which provides medical care for 9/11 first responders and survivors, are causing significant delays in care that could lead to life-and-death situations. He claims that the program has reduced its workforce and is not adequately addressing the needs of those affected by the health issues stemming from the 9/11 attacks. The cuts include the elimination of positions and the reduction of services, which, according to Mormando, are critical for timely medical interventions. He warns that these changes could result in increased suffering and potentially preventable deaths among the 9/11 community. The program's administration has not responded to these allegations, but the article highlights the ongoing debate about funding and management of long-term health care for 9/11 victims.
