Ohio House Approves Required Autism
Coverage- Associated Press
Published: December 8, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Ohio House has
approved a bill that would require health
insurance companies to cover the treatment
of autism.
The Democratic-controlled House voted 57-39
for the bill, which now heads to a Republican-
controlled Senate that has already
demonstrated its skepticism toward the
measure.
The House included the autism coverage
requirement in its version of the two-year
budget passed earlier this year. But the
Senate took the measure out.
Many Republicans are concerned that
requiring insurance companies to cover
autism will increase the price of insurance
overall, hurting small businesses and certain
individuals.
About one in every 150 children is diagnosed
with autism, a developmental disability that
impairs a person’s ability to communicate and
interact with others.
