I commend my colleagues for reaching an agreement on a longer term extension of the payroll tax cut. While this bill is not perfect, it does provide the average American middle-class family with an additional $1,000 over the year through the payroll tax cut extension, it continues Unemployment Insurance through the end of the year, and prevents cuts in Medicare physician payment rates. More than 160 million Americans will benefit from the payroll tax extension and millions of seniors using Medicare will be able to continue to see the doctor of their choice.

The vote by the Scientific/Technical Advisory Committee (STAC), a panel created under the Zadroga law to evaluate emerging 9/11-related health conditions, was held following a series of meetings the STAC convened in lower Manhattan this week to solicit public input on covering new illnesses in the 9/11 Health Program. Under the law, 9/11 Health Program Administrator Dr. John Howard will consider the STAC’s advice and render a final decision on whether to add cancer coverage.
