39 Attorneys General Urge Congress to Address Funding Crisis Affecting the World Trade Center Health Program

The National Association of Attorneys General sent a letter on behalf of a bipartisan coalition of 39 attorneys general in urging Congress to take immediate action to address the impending funding crisis threatening the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP), a lifeline for more than 135,000 first responders, survivors, and families impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In a letter to congressional leadership, the coalition called for urgent legislative action to ensure the long-term financial stability of the WTCHP, which is projected to face a devastating funding shortfall as early as next year.
