Lt. Governor Calley Pushes for Autism Coverage
Lt. Governor Brian Calley (R-Ionia County) indicated that mandatory autism insurance coverage, as promoted by Governor Snyder in his State of the State, could be paid for by offering a tax credit against the new Claims Tax on paid insurance claims.
The tax, after matching federal money, is supposed to provide about $1 billion to fund Medicaid in Michigan.
There is no detail on how much money might be lost to the Medicaid budget to pay for autism insurance coverage.
