Autism - One Military Mom's Grassroot Effort to Get Better Medical Coverage for Military Families

This is such an important show! There are over 1.2 million children of active duty military personnel and over 13,000 have been diagnosed with autism. But, only 1300 though, are qualified to receive treatment under the extended care arm of the federal health care program TRICARE. Our guest is Karen Driscoll, a military wife and mother of 3 young children, one of whom has autism. She has lobbied Congress, claiming that the Pentagon's healthcare system is failing active-duty military families with autistic children, families like her own. This is a show you should not miss!
