What is the hold up?

Why are Sen. Coburn and so many Republicans against the health bill for the first responders of 9/11? 
NPR has the story:


There's word now that "Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn will not allow a proposal that would cover health-care costs for ground zero workers to go through the Senate before Christmas" (via The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire blog).

Politico says ilt's been told by Coburn that "he wouldn't allow the bill to move quickly, saying he has problems with parts of the bill and the process Democrats are employing."

Shame on Coburn!  Time and time again, Coburn has done everything he could to slow down the progress of this legislation to help those who helped out on 9/11 and the days and months that followed.

Let Coburn know that his opposition and purposeful blocking of this legislation is disgusting.
