A clause in the Affordable Care Act protects victims of hazardous materials exposure—but requires the declaration of a public health emergency by the President.
Todd and her husband returned home on February 10—after the evacuation order had been lifted—and after 15 minutes"we started to have symptoms again."
The clause meant that the people of Libby and the wider Lincoln County, Montana, diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease get free hospital insurance at any age. Usually,Max Baucus, U.S. ambassador to China, speaks on September 10, 2016 in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. While a senator for Montana, he inserted a clause into the Affordable Care Act to cover communities exposed to hazardous materials.
However, the site of the train derailment is not currently listed on the EPA's National Priorities List of Superfund sites.The Affordable Care Act defines an emergency declaration as that of a public health emergency, which is decided by the President and for which"no other person with the authority and capability to respond to the emergency will do so in a timely manner," according to the CERCLA Act of 1980.
