Congress: give firefighters health insurance

President Obama and Congress, give Forest Service firefighters and their families health insurance!

Why is this important?

I just found out that the firefighters we see on the news risking their lives to put out forest fires are federally employed. According to the Forest Service, because these firefighters are considered "seasonal", they receive no health insurance due to a congressional law which prohibits it. This is just plain wrong and should be rectified by Congress as quickly as possible.
