One out of 150 births results in autism. One out of 90 male births results in autism. With these statistics, it is of epidemic proportions.

Autism is putting a huge burden on parents and families to care for and improve the quality of life of these children as they grow. Insurance Carriers do not provide coverage for the needed services.
Pennsylvania House Bill HB1150 will require Pennsylvania Insurance Carriers to provide coverage for this dreaded affliction.

With this and other problems going unresolved, we - the grass roots level - cannot just sit back and do nothing. We all must begin to push back and push up. Voting is just not enough. Nothing is more powerful than the people, even the Insurance lobby.
