NEW YORK — The feds have doled out more than $10 billion to people suffering from 9/11-related health conditions, The New York Daily News has learned.
“They should be giving out another $10 billion if that’s what’s needed,” said retired Con Edison worker Cheryl Hall, who received compensation for a litany of illnesses linked to her time at Ground Zero. “We give out billions of dollars in aid to other countries like the Ukraine, they should give us a fighting chance too.”
The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed that the federal September 11th Victim Compensation Fund had given out $10 billion in aid as of June 6.
