Autism Health Insurance Reform

Please call Speaker of the New York Assembly Sheldon Silver today and ask

him to move A6305. This is the best state-level autism health insurance

reform bill ever. It has broad support in the State Senate and Assembly and

the autism community. The Autism Action Network supports this bill and so

does Autism Speaks. And we need your help to get it done. A6305 is in

committee right now and they need to move if we are to pass it this session.

Please call Speaker of the Assembly Sheldon Silver today at (518) 455-3791

and ask him politely to move A6305 along. It has to be voted on in several

committees and time is running out.

Please click on the Take Action Link to send an email in support of

S4005/A6305 to your State Senator and Assemblymember. And in the coming days

and

weeks we will need you to get on the phone, fax and word processor to get

this passed.

This bill does everything it should. It will cover speech, occupational

and physical therapies, which are specifically identified in the bill so

there is no mystery. It will cover behavioral therapies including ABA. It will

cover rehabilitative and habilitative care. It doesn’t force treatments for

autism to meet a much higher standard for efficacy than other treatments;

in fact. it applies the exact same efficacy standards that are used for all

other health care. There are no lifetime or annual caps. There are no age

limits. It will cover assistive technology, and psychological and

psychiatric care. This is the kind of bill that can make a substantial

improvement

in the quality and quantity of care available to people with autism. And it

will prevent families from going broke caring for their kids. This bill

sets a new standard for autism health care that hopefully other states and

the federal government will emulate once we get it passed here in NY.

Please share this email with family and friends and post it to Facebook

and other social media. And if you support the work the Autism Action Network

does please make a contribution by clicking on the link below which will
