Doyle Pushes For Insurance Coverage For Autism

Proposal Removed From Assembly Budget

Posted: 9:12 pm CDT August 7,2007

Gov. Jim Doyle and Senate Democrats are pushing for a requirement that autism coverage be mandated in Wisconsin.

Seventeen other states already have such a law in place.

But in Wisconsin the idea is meeting opposition from Republicans and a business community that fears higher insurance costs.

Most insurance companies don't cover autism because it is classified as an emotional disorder rather than a neurological medical condition.

The mandate was proposed by Doyle in his budget and included in the plan passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate. It was removed by Republicans in the Assembly.
