9/11 First Responders Health Care Bill Passed By House & Senate

9/11 First Responders Health Care Bill Passed By House & Senate:

FINALLY!! THANK YOU JON STEWART AND RACHEL MADOW

I hate ask but what kind deal did they make " After a filibuster and threats of obstruction by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the Senate unanimously passed a bill on Wednesday that would provide health care for first responders to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer reached a deal with Republican senators to support the bill earlier in the afternoon. "

That they wouldn't bring up the fact that, "Coburn also claimed the bill had been fast-tracked and skipped committee. But in fact the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions held a hearing on the bill in June -- Coburn, a committee member, missed it."
