YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLawyer Michael Barasch represents the heroes who showed up at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Because of DOGE, we've stopped showing up for them when it matters most.
Michael Barasch represented firefighters early in his career. So when 9/11 happened, he became one of their most forceful allies in the battle to get the healthcare they deserved. In the years that followed, first responders have suffered from dozens of cancers as a result of their heroism.
After years of work, Congress finally passed legislation in 2019 ensuring that 9/11 victims fund will never run out of money. The bill was named for first responder Luis Alvarez, who died after pleading with lawmakers to do the right thing. And guess who signed it? Donald Trump.
But now that Elon Musk’s DOGE is taking a chainsaw to federal programs during Trump’s second term, health care for sick 9/11 first responders is once again in jeopardy. And last month, the Trump administration fired Dr. John Howard, the administrator of the World Trade Center Health Program. Although Howard was supposed to be reinstated, most of his staff was not.
Don’t miss this discussion between Stuart Stevens and Barasch — who were both in New York on 9/11 — about what can be done now to protect those who gave so much on that day and beyond.
