On Saturday, Nov. 21, the Senate debated whether or not to allow its healthcare reform bill to come to the floor for debate and amendments, versus no action being taken (PoorMansLobbyist.org has more details on this story).
During a passionate speech about the need for healthcare reform, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) specifically called out the need for coverage of prescribed autism therapies, such as ABA therapy. Autism treatment advocates may recall that Senator Menendez also advocated for autism coverage during committee hearings.
AutismCrisis.org thanks Senator Menendez for his continued advocacy related to autism coverage and healthcare reform, and we hope that more of his colleagues will join him in addressing the current autism epidemic.
