Family At Front of Autism Insurance Push Forced to Move Out of State


OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Rohde family has spent years leading the fight to get autism covered by Oklahoma insurance companies, but they say they cannot afford to fight any longer.
Oklahoma's autism coverage mandate effort is called Nick's Law. It's named after Wayne Rohde's son Nick. The Rohde family said the $40,000 per year they are forced to spend out of pocket on Nick's treatments have gotten to be too much.
It's why the family will move to Minnesota by the end of July where the state is more autism friendly.
