When will the autism waiver be adequately funded?

Question

For those of you that don't know, the autism waiver is a social program that provides autistic children with the therapeutic services that they need. The number of children that can be helped is limited due to "lack of funding". In many parts of the U.S., there are many autistic children who do not receive waiver services. When will this finally change? Politicians are quick to spend money on the war on terror, israel, darfur, etc. But what about America? Have they forgotten that there are also Americans who are in desperate need of help?

Answer 1

If Gov't would cut all social programs, people would remember that they are responsible for helping their fellow man, not Government, and then those services could be provided by charities, just like health care used to be before the Gov't forced HMOs on us.
