On the Spectrum #94: Issue #1 Autism Insurance Reform

October 19, 2010February 25, 2020 On The Spectrum

This is a updated version of the #1 issue of “On the Spectrum” because the final push is on, in Michigan anyway, to address one of “On the Spectrum’s” #1 issues: Autism Insurance Reform!

As readers in Michigan may already know, autism insurance reform legislation passed the Michigan House last year and for the past several months, the legislation has several hearings before the Michigan senate. Compelling testimony has been provided by those who attended, describing the incredible burden placed on families trying to provide treatment for their loved ones on the spectrum. In addition, a strong case has been made that the state of Michigan’s economic health and recovery depends on this much needed reform.

What all of my readers in Michigan need to do now is contact Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop‘s office at (517) 373-2417, ask him to move the Insurance Reform Legislation forward now, and ask at least ten of your friends to do the same! Remember to be courteous when you call, and ask for his leadership on this issue. Let him know that autism insurance coverage means a great deal to your family and is the fiscally responsible thing to do for Michigan.

There are 23 States down, and 17 to go. To anyone reading this in one of those 17 States: If you send me the info on the appropriate State Legislators, I will gladly run this again for your state once the time comes to step up the effort. And,m as always you are more than welcome to download the image above and use it in your own campaigns of mailings, if you wish to.

It’s been a long road to get this far in Michigan, but progress is finally being made, both here in my home state and all over the country. Let’s keep up the presure!
