New York's New Stealth Autism Tax

The New York Post reports:

New Yorkers may soon be socked with a hefty new tax -- and never even know what hit them.

And never mind claims by lawmakers -- and Gov. Cuomo -- that taxpayers won't face new levies this year.

Unless, that is, Cuomo whips out his veto pen, quick.
Albany's new stealth tax hike comes via a bill passed last month that requires insurers to provide coverage for "autism spectrum disorders."

And though the state wouldn't directly collect the "tax," employers nonetheless would have to pay it just the same -- in the form of higher insurance premiums for workers.

You wonder why you have high premiums? It's called mandates.
