Autism Supporters Seek Better Insurance Coverage
Supporters of autism have been working to fund research to support the children and families who have been affected by this disease. Now they are seeking help from the State Capitol in order to secure better insurance coverage.
Parents and supporters of children with autism rallied at the Capitol last week. They want the Legislature to pass bills that would require insurers to cover some autism therapies, screenings and diagnosis.
Most of the bills in the package have not passed either the House or the Senate. A few related bills have passed the House. The bills have drawn some opposition from those who say more mandated insurance coverage would raise the cost of health care plans for Michigan businesses and residents.
