Health bill enthusiasts are closely keeping tabs on Republicans and Jon Stewart’s latest concerns. The comedian put the stalled 9/11 health bill under direct spotlight, in one of his final shows. He has lambasted the Republicans (mostly) for holding up passage of a bill that was supposedly promoted to assist millions of American people. Well Stewart, politics is a tricky game and most of the times those Senators just make use of such issues for their own electoral campaign motives.

Jon-Stewart The comedian openly said, “This is an outrageous abdication of our responsibility to those who were most heroic on 9/11,” Stewart said. “The party that turned 9/11 into a catchphrase is now moving suspiciously into a convenient pre-9/11 mentality when it comes to this bill.”

The game plan, so far, suggests that the said health bill will provide a grant worth of $7.4 Billion in health care benefits and compensation to first responders. These responders were primarily those who became affected by the pollution that originated from the post 9/11 incident (WTC Demolition). All such responders would supposedly get health insurance when their current insurance or payment compensations were no longer there.

The 9/11 health bill issue is just rolling around like a ping pong ball. Some Senators are in favor, while others are against it. Take a look at what Sen. Collins had to say about this whole thing:

•    ”I support the 9/11 health bill on the merits, and I have talked with Sen. [Kirsten] Gillibrand about the need for legitimate ways of offsetting its cost, unlike those included in the House-passed bill. If the Majority Leader were to bring the bill to the floor with appropriate offsets, I would support the legislation.”
