Families for Effective Autism Treatment

California’s Insurance Cash Cow is primed to be Milked. For years California’s Private Insurance
Industry has dodged it’s responsibility of covering services for people with Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASDs). Some states do the right thing and cover ASDs as a cost of doing business.
Some states have even legislated the coverage of ASDs, making the coverage mandatory, and
then there is California.
Cash strapped California can in no way pay for the expensive treatments that children and adults
with ASDs require for any resemblance to independence and a life of self determination. California
is not in the insurance business

The year 2010 will go down as the beginning of the shift of responsibility from the State of California
to the proper industry (Insurance) for serving the Autism Community. The following is one of many
examples of those with the power to penetrated the firewall the insurance industry has effectively
built around it’s bottom line to ensure the continued profitability of the industry. I am talking about
the Legislature – Judicial – Media, putting a spotlight on the private insurance industry.
