That would be good news. Funding is nice (if it actually happens)
Am not that familiar with reading through a congressional bill. Do you know where the section is that actually breaks down the $7,000,000,000? With a sum of that amount would guess/hope/pray there is some specific accounting of just how they arrived at that number....
.
All the funding is under Subtitle D.
The annual cost is broken out at the top.
`
(2) FUNDING- Out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, there shall be deposited into the Fund for each of fiscal years 2012 through 2020 (and the last calendar quarter of fiscal year 2011)--
`(A) the Federal share, consisting of an amount equal to the lesser of--
`(i) 90 percent of the expenditures in carrying out this title for the respective fiscal year (initially based on estimates, subject to subsequent reconciliation based on actual expenditures); or
`(ii) $71,000,000 for the last calendar quarter of fiscal year 2011, $318,000,000 for fiscal year 2012, $354,000,000 for fiscal year 2013, $382,000,000 for fiscal year 2014, $431,000,000 for fiscal year 2015, $481,000,000 for fiscal year 2016, $537,000,000 for fiscal year 2017, $601,000,000 for fiscal year 2018, $672,000,000 for fiscal year 2019, and $743,000,000 for fiscal year 2020; plus
`(B) the New York City share, consisting of the amount contributed under the contract under section 3331(d).
There are also some spending limits for the administrative activities.
`(2) WTC HEALTH PROGRAM SCIENTIFIC/TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE- For the purpose of carrying out section 3302(a)--
`(A) for the last calendar quarter of fiscal year 2011, $25,000;
`(B) for fiscal year 2012, $100,000; and
`(C) for each subsequent fiscal year, the amount specified under this paragraph for the previous fiscal year increased by the percentage increase in the consumer price index for all urban consumers (all items; United States city average) as estimated by the Secretary for the 12-month period ending with March of the previous year.
`(4) UNIFORM DATA COLLECTION- For the purpose of carrying out section 3304 and for reimbursing Data Centers (as defined in section 3305(b)(2)) for the costs incurred by such Centers in carrying out activities under contracts entered into under section 3305(a)(2)--
`(A) for the last calendar quarter of fiscal year 2011, $2,500,000;
`(B) for fiscal year 2012, $10,000,000; and
`(C) for each subsequent fiscal year, the amount specified under this paragraph for the previous fiscal year increased by the percentage increase in the consumer price index for all urban consumers (all items; United States city average) as estimated by the Secretary for the 12-month period ending with March of the previous year.
And other payments and reimbursements scattered throughout.

`(i) in the first year of the contract under this section, $600 per certified eligible WTC responder in the medical treatment program, and $300 per certified eligible WTC responder in the monitoring program; and
`(ii) in each subsequent contract year, subject to paragraph (3), at the rates specified in this subparagraph for the previous contract year adjusted by the WTC Program Administrator to reflect the rate of medical care inflation during the previous contract year.
