Thank you NorthJersey.com's @myersgene and @newsfallon for their “Hurdles to Health Care” series that covered a range of important topics, including the complex health needs of people with autism and other developmental disorders.
The series mentioned @AutismNJ's creation of a statewide consortium to define autism-friendly care. Our goal is to support substantial and sustainable changes in healthcare systems throughout the state. For more information about our consortium, visit autismnj.org/healthcare-cons….

With everything pointing to ACA subsidies going unfunded for 2026, how many Americans are going to risk going without health insurance?

Part 2 of Hurdles to Health Care w/ @myersgene:

This puts folks with disabilities at a major disadvantage when seeking care.
