He is suffering from the black lung disease. He sees the doctor everyday is on 100% o2. I need to know where can he go to get help financing it? NY says they are taken care of these people but we have yet to see the help from that.

If you live anywhere near NYC, you probably know that this is a HUGE issue right now. The NY Daily News did a series of articles on this.
I would say, contact your local government. Don't go too high up, a local town representative or someone like that. Right now is the best time because this is getting a lot of press, and there's nothing a politician would like more than to get his/her name and picture in the paper for helping someone like your dad, who helped us so much on 9/11.
I'm adding this to my answer: Here is a link to a Daily News story from 9/15/06 about how the Republicans in the Senate BLOCKED a $2 BILLION amendment to a port security bill that would pay for health care for 9/11 workers. This was sponsored by Hillary Clinton, which is probably why the SOBs blocked it.

We need to be pro-active and get help for these people who deserve it. Meanwhile, the 9/11 widows are millionaires and are suing for more.
