Some context: the bill essentially gives 9/11 first responders and their families vital healthcare for life due to the illnesses they got from being at ground zero when the towers went down. They’ve been going to congress for years and would have to keep going back to renew it. McConnell is seen walking by. Even then, the bill in the senate wasn’t unanimous, 97-2
Republicans Rand Paul and Mike Lee voted against it.
