Greetings!
We need your help! The next step in our fight to get Michigan insurance companies mandated to cover Autism therapy is to have the bills voted on in the House of Representatives.

Please contact House Speaker, Andy Dillon TODAY (Monday, December 8,2008)! He needs to hear that you care about this legislation. Tell him that you want House Bills 5527 & 5529 put to a committee and floor vote immediately!

What do I say when I call?

Above all else, it is important for Andy Dillon to know why this bill is so important to YOU! Besides that, here are some main points you can discuss: 1. The autism community has a cost projection that shows this legislation will likely cost about .50% or less in premiums for policy holders. 2.Individuals with autism are the only group that have no coverage from any source. 3.There is no coverage, not even for the most evidence-based treatments. 4.Individuals with autism get excluded from virtually all insurance policies and the insurance industry has been able to perpetrate this discrimination without repercussion. It is time for this discrimination to stop! 5. Remember to stress why and how this bill will effect your life and the lives of your friends and family! 6.Tell him you want HB 5527 and 5529 to be voted on immediately!


7. Forward to your friends and family asking them to also take action.

Thank you in advance for your support. Please foward this on to your friends and family members and ask them to make a phone call that could really make a difference!

Sincerely,

Autism Insurance in Michigan Committee
