Regardless of the effectiveness of ABA, this is not a clinical position being taken by UHC, it’s a strategic plan that labels autistic children as a burden to their shareholders, an endeavors to shed this burden. It’s exactly this kind of ghoulish logic that have normies cheering the murder of insurance executives.
People are waking up to the reality that for-profit health insurance is a parasitic scheme to collect premiums and deny care. The people who profit from this system, the ones who design, and improve upon it, are morally bankrupt and an active threat to the health and well being of most Americans.
I don’t call for them to die like Osama Bin Laden, I call for them to live like him, afraid and in hiding.
Why bin laden when they could go like hussein?
While ABA is not without its criticisms, especially for cases where the kids are already better able to function day-to-day and ABA is used to strongly encourage masking (back in the day they’d literally just beat kids down with both carrot and stick to get them to pretend to be “normal”), getting severely affected kids to engage and talk is basically what it’s best at, and yeah, you don’t just get “better” from ASD.
Fucking horrific by UHC, as usual, and you know ABA is not the only care getting this kind of “analysis.”
Round 2, baby!
A broken clock is right twice a day…
The thing about services for kids is that you have to give them literally everything. EPSDT requires it until the day they turn 21. Then they can get fucked like the rest of us.
