Money for 9/11 Health Care Was Dropped From Year-End Spending Bill
A plan to ensure long-term funding to address health needs stemming from the terrorist attacks fell to the wayside after President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk objected to a bipartisan budget deal.

......................

But by day’s end on Wednesday, President-elect Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, had scuttled the bill with their criticism that it was bloated and failed to deliver on Mr. Trump’s priorities. After a tumultuous standoff, the House and Senate finally approved stripped-down legislation at the end of the week to avert a government shutdown — without providing money for the health fund. Mr. Brosi said he was crushed. Firefighters, he said, had thought they were finally closing a chapter in the yearslong battle to end periodic shortfalls and secure long-term funding for emergency workers and others who have grown deathly ill from the toxins of ground zero.
