Andrew Ansbro, the president of the FDNY Uniformed Firefighters Association, expressed deep concern over potential funding shortfalls for the World Trade Center Health Program, stating, "Every time they go to Washington to get a funding bill it never gets fully funded. It's always a piece, they leave a piece on the table." His emotional testimony reflects the ongoing struggle firefighters face in securing adequate health care after the fallout from 9/11.
More than 132,000 people rely on the World Trade Center Health Program for life-saving treatment after exposure to toxic debris. Ansbro highlighted this urgency saying, "This is to close everything up and have it fully funded," as he advocates for the 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2024 to ensure continued support for responders and survivors.
