Senators Casey and Heitkamp on miners protections in five month omnibus bill

Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey says that the provisions should have been completed six months earlier, reiterating Brown that retired coal miners coming to Washington standing in the hot sun of summer and throughout the winter achieved the goal of extending the provisions, that 900,000 miners and families were affected, that the federal government had made two promises to them, who kept their promises in turn, reading a letter from a constituent couple that should not have had to happen. North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp tells reporters that West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin had consistently told stories about the inconsiderate insecurity faced by his constituents facing expiration of their coverage, that she had gotten to know Many of them, that the issue is about life and death, that having agreed to a level of insecurity for those who had earned their healthcare was inhumane, that Democrats stand with those who shower at night when they get home from work, and not in the morning.
