Autism and the health care industry

by Rachel Colyer — Pennsylvania

When I walked up to the door of this home, I found a list of autism facts posted on the front door. The woman who opened the door was nice, and very agreeable to our issues, especially about health care. As she was signing up as a member, we had a short discussion about the health care industry and autism. She told me a member of her family has autism and that health insurance companies don’t cover autism itself, only related health issues are covered. Then she began to tell me how horrible the pharmaceutical companies are and about the exorbitant prices they charge for medication. The rate of autism in children is on the rise and we should all be aware of the lack of compassion among for-profit health care providers.
