The James Zadroga Act - ArtM72 - 08-02-2016

The  James Zadroga Act

Thanks to a coalition of 9/11 Responders, Survivors, labor unions, advocates and dedicated public officials, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act became law in 2010 and was renewed in 2015. After being denied help for years, over 72,000 9/11 Responders and Survivors from around the country who went to the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Shanksville crash site are now getting medical monitoring, treatment and compensation for their injuries."

Then New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was instrumental in obtaining $21 billion for New York City in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, working alongside New York’s Senior Senator Charles Schumer.   Clinton also took a leading role in investigating the health issues faced by 9/11 first responders, ultimately winning the first federal appropriations for medical monitoring of 9/11 Responders. This funding laid the groundwork for future appropriations and the expanded Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program to come. Without Clinton’s early efforts on behalf of 9/11 Responders, the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act as we know it may not have been possible.
