Unacceptable! Autism Excluded from H.R. 3200 Healthcare Bill! Call Speaker

Pelosi Now.

By Hendrix Reynolds and Nan Cale

Whatever your thoughts are with regard to the national health reform discussion,

whatever your party politics are, I want you to think about this. Children with

autism deserve appropriate health care coverage for their medical condition.

Some children in some places have access to that. Most children with autism in

most places do not.

The health reform ship has sailed and autism insurance reform is not on it.

H.R. 3200 is currently in mark up and our hope of acheiving autism insurance

reform as part of the larger health reform initiative will require an amendment.

We can get that if we can be loud and generate thousands of phone calls into

Speaker Pelosi's office over the next couple of hours.

Here is how you can help:

1. CALL Speaker Pelosi's office at and tell her office that

health insurance reform that does not stop autism insurance discrimination is

unacceptable.
