House Democrats call on voters to put more pressure on Republican House leaders to revive Radiation Exposure Compensation Act .

The Senate passed the bill earlier this year , only for it to stall in the House over concerns by some Republican lawmakers about cost.

The law was initially passed more than three decades ago and has paid out about $2.6 billion in that time.

Advocates for decades have been pushing to expand the compensation program.
