Latest Study Of 9/11 Workers’ Ills Reinforces Need For Fed $ Aid
- Text size
A new study by Mount Sinai School of Medicine showing high rates of psychological distress among Ground Zero workers underscores the need for a strong federal response to the health impacts of the 9/11 attacks, several New York area lawmakers declared last week.
They said that of the more than 10,000 workers who participated in the study, 11 percent met criteria for probable Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), 8.8 percent had probable depression, 5 percent had probable panic disorder and 62 percent had substantial stress reaction.

According to Mount Sinai, the rate of PTSD among 9/11 responders is significantly greater than in the general population and is on a par with the rate experienced by Afghanistan war veterans, the lawmakers said.
“Mount Sinai’s report is even more evidence that the [Bush] administration needs to finally deliver a plan to ensure that 9/11 responders can get the mental and physical health care they need,” Congressmember Carolyn Maloney (D- Queens/Manhattan) declared.
“It’s been more than six years since the attacks, and while it can never be too late to help the heroes of 9/11, the time for the president to take action is now.”
U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton stated, “Mount Sinai’s report once again proves what we have known for a long time- that our heroes from 9/11 continue to have ongoing mental and physical health needs that need to be addressed. While the physical toll on our first responders is easy to recognize, the mental stress that many of them are suffering can hide easily in plain sight.
“Our first responders and their families continue to suffer and it is our moral obligation to help them. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure that those impacted by 9/11 have the care and treatment they need.”
Also commenting on the new study, Congressmember Jerrold Nadler (D- Manhattan) stated, “We now have the science to back up what we have long known- much more needs to be done to help those brave first responders who are still suffering the physical and psychological consequences of 9/11. They put their lives in danger to help us in our time of need. The federal government has a moral imperative to provide the living victims of 9/11 with the care they need and deserve.”- John Toscano

To paraphrase the bipartisan approach to treatment of sick workers by their “loving government”: “Let them drop dead!” Thanks Dick(HEAD) Cheney!!!

Federal Aid should not be given to Ground Zero workers. We have other needs like protecting our FREEDOM from Al-Qaeda.

Call me what you want but I’m sorry after seeing the brutality and Nazi tactics of the New York cops and the way they trample all over the Constitution and the way they treat people who protest I don’t care what happens to them.

You would think our govt would clean up there own mess.

These good people deserve health care – out of the pockets of the true terrorists – the bushes, cheneys, rice, and Rumsfeld – the british fake royals, Zionists and catholic church. and despite ANNA’s total ignorance and commitment to the dark side – AlCIAda was invented by Carter and Brezenski. No hope for ANNA the Bot.

When enough people stand up for what should be done and those responsible for 911 are imprisoned they should also have to pay retribution for the 1st responders.

These cops & Fireman refuse let it be known, what they know for the most part, they’d rather go on with the official sob story.They are some who will talk but they are put down by the majority.They have knoe balls unless there suited up with MP5’s Tasers dogs or something else to give them an advantage.More than half on these do-nut eating slobs couldn’t pass physcial.With the exception of a few I say Fuck the Bullies.By the way I live in NY.As far as MT SINAI Hospital they are one of the biggest stickup arstist on the Island of Manhattan. The shareholders must real be lickinking there lips Don’t forget there a Corporation & the first priority of a Corp is to make profitits & believe me that they do

These humps have served their purpose and their sacrifices are appreciated. I just they would quit their bitching and die off quickly so we can bury them along with the truth of 9/11. It’s time to move on.
If you want to take us to court, we will drag it out for years until the last of you are dead. Quit your sniffling and start acting like men, you asbestos sucking pigs. You will be remembered as heroes. Isn’t that enough?

When you understand the heart and the mind of the globalist; you will see that they are luciferian chaos masters!! They love death and sickness and diseases to ravage the planet inorder to keep them in power!! Those people dying for them makes them think that they are god!! They love pains and sufferings and the agonies of the masses!! They wish that 10,000 people where foolish enough to try to do something for what they consider worthless humanity!! They have the mind of Satan who is lucifer and their sins and evils will bring them an eternity of tormentings that will be truly legendary and to the greatest state of eternal sufferings!!
June 6th, 2008 at 11:53 am
I guess our evil government is waiting for all the responders to finally die!! and then they will participate in their burials!!
June 7th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
They definitely want these guys (and women) to die . Just like all crimes , if the witnesses die the case gets
weaker . I’m sure that they were hoping all responders and WTC workers would perish in the collapse . Then they could make all the remaining witnesses disappear .
