This move is deemed a 'death sentence' by many, threatening the health and wellbeing of those who risked their lives during the 9/11 attacks. With the program's future uncertain, concerns about long-term health effects, such as respiratory diseases and mental health issues, are growing. The cuts have significant implications for 9/11 health care and support services.
