Sen. Chuck Schumer announced that a permanent funding fix for the World Trade Center health program is now out of Washington’s stop-gap budget bill.
Schumer says Republicans removed the bill that would have ensured continuous funding for the critical program.
The program pays medical bills for people with health conditions related to exposure at Ground Zero.
