Giuliani seeks health care coverage through 9/11 program

Rudy Giuliani is seeking to have his health care covered through the 9/11 program while he recovers from a serious case of pneumonia.

A spokesman for the former New York City mayor said he is improving after the illness.

The spokesman also said Giuliani suffers from a respiratory condition linked to toxin exposure at ground zero.

The request places renewed attention on the long-running health consequences associated with the World Trade Center site.

It also raises questions about how his current medical care may be covered.

The available information does not say when the request was filed or whether it has been approved.

It also does not give details on the specific treatment Giuliani is receiving.

Giuliani has long been associated with the response to the September 11 attacks as mayor of New York at the time.

The current development is focused on his health and the coverage request rather than any wider legal or political issue.
