Bush & Asbestos Companies To Victims: Drop Dead

President Bush has repeatedly defended corporations that harmed their workers by using asbestos, and even called for limiting asbestos victims legal rights to sue. Clearly, he is reading back some of the most shameful corporate PR. And now we see a new wrinkle to this whole fiasco - one of the biggest corporate abusers who harmed their workers, W.R. Grace, has sent 870 Montana residents "sickened by asbestos exposure...letters saying they no longer have asbestos-related disease, or may not be as sick as they thought." W.R. Grace sent these letters to victims as a justification for cutting their health care benefits. Will President Bush join in and say that these victims aren't sick and thus can't sue the company to make sure those health care cuts don't go forward?
