Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: A New York City fireman calls for more rescue workers to make their way into the rubble of the World Trade Center September 15, 2001. 
  
 WASHINGTON | 
  
 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A retooled bill providing medical care for firefighters and other emergency responders to the September 11, 2001 attacks could be resurrected soon in the Senate, a few weeks after Republicans blocked the measure, backers said on Sunday. 
  
 "We believe we are on a path to victory by the end of this week," said Senator Charles Schumer. But he was quick to add that unexpected obstacles could arise. 
  
 He and fellow New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand outlined for reporters some changes they will propose to their bill in an attempt to win over enough Republican support for passage as Congress winds down its legislative session for the year. 
  
 They hope to do that by producing a less expensive bill that they said would end up paying for itself, with $57 million left over in a 10-year period. That money could be used for deficit reduction, they said. 
  
 Instead of costing $7.4 billion, Gillibrand and Schumer said the measure's price tag would be reduced to $6.2 billion. 
  
 Their revised legislation would impose a new 2 percent fee on goods and services from firms in foreign countries that are not members of the Agreement on Government Procurement. Gillibrand said Saudi Arabia would be one of the countries in that category. 
  
 Other ways the $6.2 billion cost of the health bill would be covered were by continuing a fee on travelers to the United States that is set to expire in 2015 and continuing another fee for outsourcing companies that have more than half of their employees on visas to work in the United States. 
  
 Thousands of firefighters, police and other rescue and cleanup workers have experienced respiratory problems and other illnesses from working at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of the attack on the twin towers. 
  
 Schumer said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised to bring the 9/11 bill to the Senate floor for debate as soon as it wraps up work on whether to approve the New START nuclear arms control treaty with Russia. 
  
 But still unclear is whether the House of Representatives would pass the bill this year if the Senate approves it. The House already has passed its own version of the bill. 
  
 (Reporting by Richard Cowan; Editing by Eric Walsh.) ||||| Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), a top congressional ally of President Barack Obama, made a stunning admission Sunday morning: He doesn't have a clue if the White House backs the 9-11 responders' bill. 
  
 In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked why the president has, "as best we can tell," not endorsed the $7 billion bill in public. 
  
 "I can't tell you where the White House stands, I hope they support it," said Durbin, who predicted the bill would be passed yet in this lame-duck session of Congress. 
  
 UPDATE: The White House says they still back the bill. 
  
 That seems to contradict a statement the White House put out in August, saying: "The president looks forward to signing the 9/11 health bill into law, once it passes both houses of Congress, to help the first responders whose health and livelihood were devastated by the events of Sept. 11." 
  
 Last week, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters that Obama still backs the bill. 
  
 Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), also appearing on "Fox New Sunday," got a little red in the face when Wallace juxtaposed a quote from Kyl complaining about Senate Democrats trying to ram though bills on the eve of the "holiest of Christian" holidays with a cancer-ridden first responder who said, "You won't find a single New York City firefighter who finds it disrespectful to work in a New York City firehouse on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day." 
  
 "There's already been a settlement for a lot of these people," said Kyl, who declared himself "skeptical" about the bill. 
  
 "Why $7 billion? What will the requirements for qualification be for the money?" he asked. "And, by the way, these were primarily people who helped clean up the site after 9-11." |||||

Smile, Jon Stewart: the fight for a 9/11 health care bill may not be over, despite Republicans having blocked it weeks ago. New York’s senators have edited their bill to provide care for first responders, and they hold that the new version will "pay for itself," Reuters reports. “We believe we are on a path to victory by the end of this week,” said Sen. Charles Schumer. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand say the new measure would initially cost $6.2 billion, and would eventually produce a $57 million surplus over 10 years; the blocked plan cost $7.4 billion. Schumer said that the House should continue its session until the bill is passed, Politico notes. But would the White House back it? Sen. Dick Durbin’s not sure: “I can’t tell you where the White House stands,” he told Fox News yesterday. "I hope they support it." The White House assures Politico it does in fact support the bill.
