9/11 1st Responders Storm Tom Coburn's Office To Protest Block On Health Bill

9/11 First Responders Storm Tom Coburn's Office To Protest Block On Their Health Care Bill (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Nick Wing First Posted: 12-22-10 11:46 AM | Updated: 12-22-10 12:12 PM
A group of 9/11 first responders attempted to storm Tom Coburn's office Tuesday to personally lobby the GOP senator to lift a block that he had vowed to place on legislation meant to help cover their mounting health care costs.
John Feal, head of the responders, told ThinkProgress that they had been prohibited from meeting the Republican opponents of the bill. He called the actions "rude," and criticized Coburn directly:
"Mr. Coburn should be ashamed of himself," Feal told ThinkProgress. "Because I think before he was a senator he was a doctor and he took an oath to help people that are sick. He's going against his oath as a doctor. He can vote any way he wants as a senator, but as a doctor, he just embarrassed the medical profession."
Coburn explained on Tuesday that he was stonewalling the $6.2 billion bill because it hadn't been through a legitimate hearing process. There was a hearing on the measure, however, though Coburn was a no-show, a Senate Democratic aide explained on Tuesday.
Republicans have also balked on supporting the bill because of its proposed cost offsets, which had at first been designed to close a foreign corporate tax loophole, a tactic that's apparently unacceptable to a number of GOP senators. A second version of the bill would set a fee on federal government contractors with foreign countries that have not signed certain procurement agreements with the U.S and extend a fee that already exists on certain H1B visas.
Other key Republicans, such as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, however, have been vocal about encouraging GOP senators to pass the legislation.
The ongoing debate has even gotten some members of Fox News riled up. Anchor Shep Smith has repeatedly taken Republicans to task for their reluctance to support the initiative. On Tuesday, Smith called out Coburn for obstructing the measure.

The Hill reports that Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), one of the bill's sponsors, has announced plans to bring the measure to the floor on Wednesday afternoon.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that the Senate will hold a cloture vote at around noon to see if the bill providing healthcare benefits to 9/11 first responders can get the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster.

Tom Coburn is a disgusting piece of ****. If there was a god, he would have killed Colburn at birth.

Here's ThinkProgress's transcript of their interview with John Feal, leader of the first responders group.
FEAL: This is hard to swallow.
TP: What about going office to office? Have their staff and the senators been very receptive to the group?
FEAL: 90 percent of the time. Once in a while we'll run into some resistance and some arrogance and some rude people. Listen, we busted our asses since 9/11. We've fought and advocated for ourselves [while] others wouldn't. So to be insulted by the staff of the United States Senate and Congress - most of them were 12 years old when 9/11 happened - doesn't bother me.
TP: Last question I have is it was revealed today or yesterday that Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said that he was going to place a hold on this bill and not let it come up for a vote at all. If you could send a message to Mr. Coburn, what would that be?
FEAL: Mr. Coburn should be ashamed of himself. Because I think before he was a senator he was a doctor and he took an oath to help people that are sick. He's going against his oath as a doctor. He can vote any way he wants as a senator, but as a doctor, he just embarrassed the medical profession.

Thanks teabaggers for voting assholes like Colburn in to office! Yay!!! Anything to defeat that Muslim president with the crazy pastor who is too incompetent to be president but completely capable of throwing over the US. The reason the GOP doesn't care about this bill is probably because war contractors and oil companies haven't figured out a way to profit from their diseases.
