one is a compensation fund that jon stewart has been a big ally of and a huge victory in 2019 when theyally funded this compensation fund indefinitely for people impacted by 9/11. the one we're talking about today is the health fund. this is something that was extended in 2015 indefinitely. there's lots of money for this. there is some technical problems with it. the bottom line is that the increase in funding is tied to inflation. not the level of medical inflation. medical costs have increased much greater than inflation. people who are receiving this fund are extremely worried about the increasing costs and fund not keeping up with those costs. now, those bipartisan group of lawmakers were in new york city today talking about the need to pass this. let's listen to representative maloney. >> we can ensure the program will have the resources to deal with the illnesses that 9/11 is still afflicting too many responders and too many survivors. >> reporter: as we know, there are a lot of health issues which is an understatement for the people who were around the pile around ground zero for

you've had the help, of course, of your friend jon stewart who really embraced this cause in such a hugesponder act to fix some of the mistakes and add more money. what is your message? >> not so much mistakes. you know back in 2015, andrea, 7,600 people and now 113,000 plus in the world trade center output program. these first 20 years were hard on us. many people got sick and many people died. but the next 20 years is going to decimate the 9/11 community one because of age and two because these toxins and illnesses have latency periods of 25, 30 years. everybody's immune systems are different. just like our fingerprints, everyone is different. so many people are now on average, 59, 60 years old and compromised immune systems and already weakened immune system because of age and the further we get away from 9/11, these men and women are getting sick. no fault of ours. we did our job. we walked the halls of congress and got legislation passed. the new york delegation is promising to get reconciliation and if it doesn't, then we go back to d.c. and we do what we do best. they could do thi
