Michigan, a new state has just introduced legislation requiring insurance providers to insure those with Autism.In April of 2009, democrats in the Michigan House and Senate introduced bills that would require insurance providers to cover more therapies for Autism. According to the democrats introducing the bill they want to follow suit with how Indiana now requires health insurance providers to cover those therapies for Autism.
Similar legislation was introduced last year but fierce lobbying and opposition stopped the bill from going any further. So far the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and Blue Cross Blue Shield are the opposition for this bill.
