In tonight's Health Headlines, there's a push for insurance companies to pay for therapy for children with autism. Autism advocates are targeting New York and ten other states to require health insurers to cover intensive and costly behavioral therapy for autism. In the past couple of years, six states have passed laws requiring such coverage, costing in some cases up to $50,000 dollars a year per child. The advocacy group autism speaks is behind this effort.
