9/11 Health Program Cuts Put Lives at Risk, Claims Former Employee
The World Trade Center Health Program has been hit with significant staff cuts, with up to 20% of employees affected by probationary worker cuts and buyouts, according to a letter from U.S. senators. This reduction in staff is expected to cause 'life and death' delays in treatment and care for 9/11 first responders and survivors, potentially jeopardizing their health and wellbeing. The program provides vital support and medical services, including cancer treatment and mental health support, to those affected by the 9/11 attacks. The cuts have sparked concerns about the long-term impact on the health and safety of these individuals, with many relying on the program for their health and medical needs, including health insurance and medical care.
