Virginia Reverberations

The failure of the Virginia bill on insurance coverage came as a disappointment to many in the autism community. WSET-TV reports:


A mother wrote the following to the members of the subcommittee that killed the bill:
You had a moral obligation to do the right thing for our kids, and you chose not to. You sent a message to my Sean that his future doesn't matter, that he is dispensible. So I am going to remind you, as often as I can, about my son Sean O'Keefe, age four, from Chesapeake. So maybe next time you have the opportunity to help him and others like him, you will actually have the guts to act.
