A bill to fund health care aid for September 11th rescue and recovery workers will come up for a vote again in the House of Representatives, although this time it will only need a simple majority to pass.

Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and Congressman Jerrold Nadler made the announcement Wednesday morning at a press conference near the World Trade Center site.

They said lawmakers are expected to take up the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act later this month and it has enough support to pass.

"Here we are, down at Ground Zero, we'll never forget the horror of that day," said Congressman Peter King of Long Island. "But those who are walking around with their lungs impaired, with their blood suffering the worst disorders, can never forget it. Their families can never forget it because they are suffering day in and day out. We are going to alleviate that suffering, provide them with the healthcare they need. It's an absolute moral obligation that we have as members of Congress to have that done."

"At least 900 people have died since September 11th, at least, from 9/11-related diseases," said Congressman Anthony Weiner. "They are just as much a hero as the people we're going to solemnly memorialize this week on the September 11th events. There is no reason why we shouldn't be treating them like the heroes they are."

The bill failed to pass the House earlier in July, after Democratic leaders chose to consider it under a procedure that requires a two-thirds majority vote. That method would have prevented Republicans from attaching amendments to the bill, like a proposal to prevent September 11th medical benefits from going to illegal immigrants. However, the move was criticized as ultimately preventing the bill's passage and even led to a sometimes heated feud among the New York delegation.

"Maybe the fact that Anthony and I felt so strongly showed people on both sides of the aisle -- especially on the Republican side -- how seriously we feel about this issue," King said.

"I think at the end of the day we are going to wind up perhaps benefiting from it because now all around this country people are talking about this bill," Weiner said.

President Barack Obama has said that he would sign the bill into law once it passes the House and the Senate.

Meanwhile, news that the legislation is moving forward again comes days before the ninth anniversary of the attacks. The day is normally reserved for quiet reflection and mourning, but this year protests for and against a proposed Islamic community center and mosque are in the works.

"I think it's wrong to hold political demonstrations on 9/11," Nadler said.

Lawmakers who gathered for the announcement Wednesday all seemed to agree that politics shouldn't play a role in September 11th, especially when it comes to the health bill.
