The American people watching this debate are hearing finger pointing and blame laying, and you know what? All the finger pointing and all the blame laying isn't going to help a single 9/11 responder with his or her health care. It is very simple: If you believe that these heroes deserve to be monitored for their medical conditions and deserve health care, vote ``yes''; if you don't believe that, vote ``no.'' But let's stop the partisan bickering and the posturing and get on to the business at hand, which is helping these people.
