If it was a first responder bill, it would be limited to responders. Instead, it allows anyone to make a claim. Despite little in the way of scientific evidence. So much for Democrats putting science back in its proper place.

I am perfectly happy to have Democrats shine a light on Republicans and portray them as defenders of the taxpayers first.

It's pointless discussing it with you, since if you actually took the time to read the bill, you'd see all the requirements it takes to make a claim, and although it is open to "anyone", it really isn't.

Again, not just "anyone" has got mail coming to them saying that the FBI is going to check them out; only a bunch of mostly white guys laying around their houses now with congenital lung and heart problems procured in the days when Republicans claimed they were "heroes".

Republicans stalled for 10 years on health care for these people, and when they finally give in they get the amount chopped and then equate police and firefighter guys with being terrorists.

Lovely.

The criteria you have to meet within the bill is clear and it is enough; the provision by the Republican from Florida is a slap in the face.
