Ohio bill requires insurance companies to pay for ABA therapy

Ohio is in the process of passing a bill requiring insurance companies to cover Autism as they would other chronic Diseases. There are controversial arguments related to this decision. Some are arguing that the bill will ultimately hurt small businesses due to higher insurance premiums to offset the new expense by insurance companies. The measure has now been passed on to the Ohio Senate. It seems unfair that we should dictate what should or should not be covered based on rising premiums. Individuals with cancer cause the premiums to be really high, but it is still a covered treatment.
