Caught part of this on Sundance tonight. VERY sad. We all know how difficult it is to get medical help when you've lost your job due to disability. How our government could turn it's back on the rescue workers infuriates me.
The workers found out how little their government appreciates their efforts, in the same way they turn their back on vets when they are no longer able to 'perform' for them.
I give it a definite recommend if you happen to catch it on sundance.

Just days after September 11, 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency assured the public that there should be no concern about any health hazards associated with exposure to smoke and debris in lower Manhattan. This disturbing documentary asks whether the EPA’s pronouncement was based on science or politics. Now many of the first-responders who risked their lives within that toxic chemical soup are seriously ill or dying. Filmmaker Heidi Dehncke-Fisher and producer Bruce Kennedy reveal how 9/11’s latest victims are America’s forgotten heroes.
