REVISED STATEMENT: Michigan Nurses Association urges Gov. Snyder to sign autism package

Statement from John Karebian, Michigan Nurses Association Executive Director, on legislation approved by the legislature and sent to Gov. Snyder to mandate insurance coverage for children with autism in Michigan:

“Our nurses are hopeful that Governor Snyder will listen and realize that the need for mandated insurance coverage for children living with autism is a must in Michigan. Nurses see children who have been diagnosed with autism from a young age, and they know the difference having access to quality care can make in their lives. We hope the Governor will make a safe and healthy choice for all Michigan children and citizens.”
