Adding Insult to Injury, Sick 9/11 First Responders Must Be Screened For Terrorist Ties Before They Can Get Treatment

WASHINGTON -- A provision in the new 9/11 health bill may be adding insult to injury for people who fell sick after their service in the aftermath of the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks, The Huffington Post has learned.

The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history and risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their names must be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list, according to a letter obtained by HuffPost.

Any of the responders who are not compared to the database of suspected terrorists would be barred from getting treatment for the numerous, worsening ailments that the James Zadroga 9/11 Health And Compensation Law was passed to address.

It’s a requirement that was tacked onto the law during the bitter debates over it last year.

1. And if you get on that list by political or societal beliefs.

Then you have McCarthiesm.

And if the list is secret.

Guess who gets on it.


Ideological and Loyalty test for job spots.


What if they use information gathered with supermarket shopping cards, credit reports, or wall mart databases to put you on that list?

How do you know it is not about some economic or social control factor.

If the list is secret, then any attachment to it of any program is wrong.
