O'Brien introduced the bill in 2007. It would have mandated insurance coverage of all autism treatments up to $36,000. The bill had 82 co-sponsors and was unanimously approved by the state House. [size="3"]This is the 2nd article I've read and the 2nd time $36,000 is used with out stating that it's per year. Why is that? And people wonder why I'm so cynical. But already, such laws exist -- South Carolina requires autism coverage, up to $50,000 annually, for kids 6 and younger. Texas mandates treatment for kids 3 and younger, with no monetary cap on the bills. Pennsylvania, meanwhile, wants to mandate broad autism coverage, up to $36,000 a year until the age of 21.
