Five years ago Jon Stewart hosted a panel on his show of 9/11 four responders on his show about how Congress is blocking a bill to assist then with their health care issues. I posted it on my all time most popular post. I repost the discussion here.
The act is now up for renewal and Congress is again holding it up. Last night on the Daily Show, Stewart returned to host the same panel of four. Only one of the original four was able to attend. One had died and the other two were too sick to attend. Politics is supposed to be about people and what is best for them.
