Letter: Support treatment of all 9/11 victims

It sickens me to think that every first responder to the attacks on 9/11 doesn’t qualify for care under the Zadroga Act [“Their lingering pain,” News, Jan. 15].
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health needs to get a clue and support every individual suffering from the toxic effects of the aftermath. To dismiss neuropathy is disgusting.
