It must suck to be an ill 9/11 worker. It's bad enough being sick -- I hate being sick and slowed down -- but to be made into a long-suffering martyr sucks ass. The bill (James Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act) to fund health care and compensation for those crew workers of the now infamous Ground Zero failed passage in the House chambers.
This means the once dust covered and praised Everyman "heroes" will not get serious medical treatment unless they can afford it, and since many (most?) can't afford said treatment they'll just have to summon that hero strength, dig their heels in the trenches and cough their way through the court system for any recourse toward compensation. Can I get a whoop-whoop! Let's see how many more 9/11's those folks and their families will pause for in remembrance. Meanwhile the whole former Bush Administration is going on with their lives and careers and enjoying the fruits of their CVs. Ditto Osama Bin Laden.

That's one helluva trade off. Hey, when you takes your chances, you takes your chances.
