Advocates for 9/11 first responders are urging the Trump administration to stabilize the World Trade Center Health Program, which is in crisis due to funding shortfalls and administrative issues. These problems have left cancer patients without necessary care and new enrollees without support. The upheaval has resulted in staff layoffs and reinstatements, further eroding trust among survivors. The program is vital for the health of over 142,000 responders and survivors from the September 11 attacks, and advocates highlight the life-saving role it has served.
The turmoil of the World Trade Center Health Program threatens the lives of 9/11 responders due to bureaucratic chaos and funding shortfalls.
Advocates stress that recent staff cuts and instability in the Trump administration have violated the trust of 9/11 survivors and hindered essential health services.
