massachusettes to cut aid to ALL autistic children

What about this?"PART 3—TREATMENT OF SPECIAL NEEDS PLANSSec. 1176. Limitation on enrollment outside open enrollment period ofindividualsinto chronic care specialized MA plans for special needsindividuals.Sec. 1177. Extension of authority of special needs plans to restrictenrollment."Here is the content of the proposed bill, use the search box to find"special needs":http://energycommerce.house.gov/Press_111/20090714/aahca.pdf

Why do they restrict special needs patients but not everyone else? Whyshould it be only special needs patients who have to wait until a designatedenrollment period??? Shouldn't the term "special needs" suggest that theopposite should be the case - like go to the head of the line if you've gotspecial needs and other people (the needless? what do you call "others"?)should have to await the enrollment period, since they have no special needsTHEY should have no problem waiting.
