Americans should be ashamed of themselves!

Oh please. You shouldn't assume that everyone knows what's going on regarding this matter. There are way too many causes, charities, non-profits and just bad situations in general for the American public as a whole to ALL be informed on one thing and try to change ONE thing. You say that as if every American is aware of treatment of the 9/11 workers! Frankly, I've never heard of any mistreatment regarding any specific worker here - and I watch the news every night and consider myself educated in the world issues right now. I shouldn't be embarrassed, but maybe you should be. Why don't you try to make a difference, since you know what's going on? Sure it's easy to point fingers. Everyone does as according to how informed they are, and you can't expect every person to be aware of every wrongdoing. Eesh, judgmental much?

Well this is all due to the fact that this is the government by the people, for the people, of the people...NOT--we Americans have been rallying for better health care systems for decades and we're just not listened to...It isn't only the deplorable treatment of 9/11 workers who are treated like s**t, but anyone and everyone who can't afford adequate health care....If one makes below a certain income a year then they might be eligible for Medicaid, but even with that the health care practices are inadequate...and due to the rather stupid "rules" if you bring in an income a few cents over the limit then you're not eligible for Medicaid--this is even true with our food stamps system..that's another story. Another deplorable situation exists and that how former veterans who fought in wars are treated...they are treated any better than those 9/11 workers...here were men (and women) sent over to fight in wars, and many with disabilities from injuries and were also treated like crap--so sure our government is great for sending innocent young lives to fight in its wars, but does nothing to help them when they come back--the government even denied that many Vietnam vets coming back had severe health issues due to Agent Orange...and even the vets of the present war coming back with God knows what problems are being denied any help- So welcome to America...

oh this is terrible, affordable health care should be available to everyone in the world I think, there is so much wealth out there, I think affordable healthcare for the people of this world should be no.1 priority before all this searching for other worlds, and fighting and killing lets put all our enrgies and compassion into the people already here...those wonnderful people at 9/11 site deserve to be treated like kings....

Not much we can do. If you think you can fix this problem, then come fix the problem for us. Don't call out all American's and tell us we should be ashamed when you don't know the full facts...

You don't know what you're talking about. WHy don't you give us suggestions on how we can change this??? It seems to me like you think you know all the answers. So then do tell. Becuase you seem to think you have it all figured out.

I'm surprised no one else has said this, though one comment is quite similar to what I am about to say. like, you should TOTALLY always believe everything you see in the movies. Sure, it was a documentary but it was also a one sided documentary. Anything that's "political" is going to be one-sided and not show you both sides of the spectrum. America isn't perfect and I don't think anyone has ever claimed that it is. Not to mention that just because you're an American... doesn't mean you fit into that one-sided documentary.

Everyone here suffers because of the health conditions, the 9/11 workers stand out because their 9/11 workers, but everyone is shafted.If we don't march around in the streets its because a) we're sick...b) we have Bush to deal with and you can see how he takes care of what's important to him and what's not.If we appear to just be "sitting around" ask Canada why its pharmacies are being so uberly patronized, everyone is busy fighting for themselves whilst waiting for a governmental overhaul.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Seeing one documentary and making all decisions on that is foolish. People are constantly petitioning the government to get better care for these people. Private donations are given to them every day. The government cannot change over night, but rioting in the streets is stupid. Unless you live here, no RESEARCH is going to tell you what it is like. And they say Americans are arrogant. Yeah, right.

i also managed to read online that the financial section of the building got completely destroyed to the ashes first before any other section. but i could be wrong in interpretation.
