Autism is under the legislative microscope in Ohio, as a new bill there would require health insurance plans to cover diagnosis and treatment for autism in an effort to get autistic children into a program at an early age.

Having treatment enter into the scenario as early as possible would benefit them for the rest of their lives, according to medical experts.

In Ohio, current laws can make insurance companies cover the diagnosis of autism but not the treatment. Instead of taxpayers picking up the tab in many cases, insurance would be soon required to do so if the bill passes. What do you think?
