What do you think about President-Elect Obama's national autism bill?
From the Autism Speaks Web site:
President-Elect Obama has drafted comprehensive autism legislation, including a section addressing a broad based federal autism insurance mandate.
In his Presidential campaign statement on Autism Spectrum Disorders, President-Elect Obama committed to bringing autism insurance reform to the entire nation. The statement stated that Obama and Biden "will mandate insurance coverage of autism treatment and will also continue to work with parents, physicians, providers, researchers, and schools to create opportunities and effective solutions for people with ASD."
What do you think needs to be in this bill? How does it differ from state initiatives underway?
