GOP Argues Against 9/11 Hero Care
Saying it might help people who were undeserving, Republican congressmen spoke out against a proposed health care program for rescue workers who responded to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. What do you think?

Vadim Coronado
Commercial Sales Specialist
"Well, of course. If you extend health benefits to 9/11 heroes, next you'll be providing free lifetime benefits to veterans."

Jason Headly
Mechanic
"That's why I always get a monetary guarantee in writing up front before I rush to save anyone's life."

Paula Thomson

Payroll Analyst
"I think the fact that Republicans have worn "FDNY" T-shirts, buttons, and hats for almost 10 years now is support enough for the well-being of rescuers."

1. Sad thing is, this really could be a true headline.
Republicans are assholes.
