James Zadroga

Lawmakers are calling for a 25-year extension as the federally funded Zadroga Act prepares to expire.

A World Trade Center medical panel recommended covering a number of cancers under the Zadroga Act.

Patients who have been getting free treatment for neurological problems and some other health conditions will lose that coverage when the Zadroga Act goes into effect, unless an exception is made.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he believes science will eventually prove a link between cancer and exposure to toxins at Ground Zero.

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act will continue to exclude cancer patients, officials announced Tuesday.

Congress must act on the 9/11 health bill before Christmas if it is going to become law, New York's elected officials said Monday.

The mayor went to Washington DC Tuesday to try to get more votes for the Zadroga bill in the Senate.

The bill has been stalled in the Senate since September, lacking sufficient votes to break a likely Republican filibuster.

The names of 12 NYPD officers killed in the line of duty were added to the downtown memorial.

The Zadroga Bill passed 268-160 Wednesday, prompting cheers on the House floor.

The bill would set aside billions of dollars for 9/11 responders' health and living expenses.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced the June 29 hearing Friday morning across from the World Trade Center site.

New Yorkers want the Zadroga bill passed, but Republicans worry about the cost.
