Arizona firefighters gathered outside the state Capitol on Tuesday to call for an expansion of health-care coverage to treat conditions that could arise later in life. Firefighters have been working with Arizona legislators for several months to pass House Bill 2161 and House Bill 2410, both of which would expand workers' compensation insurance coverage for first responders. HB 2161 would expand the types of cancer that would be covered. HB 2410 would expand the coverage for cardiac-related issues for firefighters.
