Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who has been diagnosed with pneumonia, is applying for free medical care through a federal program for emergency workers and others exposed to toxins following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to his lawyer.
More than 152,000 people have been enrolled in the initiative, the World Trade Center Health Program, which pays for medical research and provides free medical care to people affected by the terrorist attacks. Beneficiaries have access to doctors who specialize in Sept. 11-related illnesses, and the patients don’t face co-payments or deductibles.
Hey, happy cake day!
Now, before we go getting all misty eyed over 9/11, let’s not forget that as mayor he hired an avowed racist that implemented the “stop and frisk” program, which targeted minority populations throughout NYC.
The racism got so bad that his police force raped a man with a broken broomstick who was chained up in the precinct. Afterward one of the officers paraded the bloody, feces slathered broomstick around as a trophy. The victim broke or lost several teeth, and had such severe internal damage that her was hospitalized for 2 months.
A few years later, they shot an unarmed guy 41 times after he ran away from them.
Giuliani is a horrible person who used a terror attack to bolster his image.
