Deal has been struck to pass this bill, possible tomorrow! 
Edit: it just passed. The two-faced obstructionist GOP Senators voting no so far all flip-flopped so they look good in future political ads, and it passed the Senate unanimously

WASHINGTON -- After a filibuster and threats of obstruction by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the Senate unanimously passed a bill on Wednesday that would provide health care for first responders to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer reached a deal with Republican senators to support the bill earlier in the afternoon.
