Kaufert and Autism Coverage

Dean Kaufert is one a two Republicans to co-sponsor a bill to require insurance companies to cover children with autism.

According to a Capital Times article on 5/15/07, "most insurance companies do not cover treatment for autism because they classify autism as an emotional disorder rather than a neurological medical condition".

The main advocate for the bill is the Wisconsin Early Autism Project - http://www.wiautism.com/.
