It is deadly when politics steps in front of public health. The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act passed last year which will provide health care for first responders sickened at Ground Zero, but does not cover cancer!  The 9/11 rescue workers not only deserve our respect, but treatment for any and all diseases, including cancer, that may have resulted from their exposure to carcinogens released from the World Trade Center disaster.  I encourage you to view and share the Jon Stewart video below through your social media networks. 

And then ….take a minute and watch/share the powerful The Daily Show “Ored to Death” video about Quebec’s asbestos mining and exportation to developing countries.  Only through collaborative efforts can we protect public health from known carcinogens.
