From the Virginia Autism Project:

"What the lobbyists will not tell you: According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Va Insurance Premiums are below the national average despite having a higher number of mandates. In other words, mandates do not directly corellate to high insurance premiums. HB 303 will actually save Virginia money, if passed, due to ...savings expected in Special Education.

Autism is a neurobiological disorder impacting 1 in 110 individuals and requiring medical insurance coverage. Medical research has proven that early intervention will will yield favorable results and reduce the cost of special education by $147k per student in almost half the cases according to Virginia's audit agency (JLARC). Lets be smart about autism ... mandate early intervention and pass HB303. Please tell your Delegates and Senators before Tuesday's hearing."
