Sad News from Richmond

From the Potomac News

"HB 83 Mandated insurance coverage for children.

Del. Jackson H. Miller, R-Manassas is a cosponsor of this bill.

It was killed by the House Commerce and Labor Committee and would have required insurance companies to provide coverage for habilitative services for children."


First, I can't believe the reporter left out that whole "autism" thing.  Habilitative services for children with autism.  

This proves yet again that most legislators in Richmond don't give a crap about kids with autism.  If my past experience hold true, the business lobbyists went in there to speak on the bill, saying it would cost companies too much in premiums.  Poof.  Dead.
