I think Federal Health Benefits should be extended to all temporary employees. Alot of temporary employees have the same issues as Firefighters, such as having children with no health issurance, getting sick or injured during the off season and having no way to pay for it. I understand the inherent danger that firefighters jobs entail, but there are other just just as dangerous, such as wilderness rangers and trail maintenance crews. I think those jobs are overlooked because they are not constantly making national headlines and alot of people don't know that they exist. But I think that if you are going to pass thist for firefighters it should be extended to all temperary seaonal employees.
