Well these therapies are expensive and can drive the average family to the brink of bankrupcy as in my family's case. These therapies were helping my son, but the money ran out. There was a bill before the Georgia Senate and House to force insurance companies to assist parents paying for these therapies. Our legislators table the bill for further study. South Carolina and Florida already have such bills, I guess they did not feel they could rely on their finding or are they protecting insurance company profits in this state.
