[quote=Anonymous]There have been mandates to cover certain procedures or therapies that keep adding to the cost of providing insurance. For example, insurance now has to pay for autism behavioral therapy that some kids are getting 10 hours a week which can be $60,000 a year and some kids are getting 20 hours or more a week or more. Why should insurance pay for that? If your child has a similar disability that isn't labeled autism it isn't covered. You know what surprisingly isn't a mandate? Hearing aids for children or adults. That seems so ridiculous that a child with mild autism can gets 20 hours of therapy delivered in their house but a child with a hearing loss can't get a hearing aid or speech therapy covered. There are other examples like this that drive up the cost of health insurance for everyone. Insurance companies want to make money so limit anything that is mandated. [/quote]
