Eating disorders should be insured the same as physical illness, so many people die each year from eating disorders but can not get help because of cost and certain weight qualifications, when it is a mental illness!

Default really!?!?

Why is it that when people in treatment are getting better, insurance companies want to send them home, but when they are breaking rules and clearly do not want to get better the insurance companies will continue to pay?!?!?

Thumbs up the insurance plan including eating disorder

I absolutely think the insurance need to cover the eating disorder and consider it as a mental illness. So people suffer from this issue can visit doctor or counsellors to change their mind and behavior. Social environment brought the increased cases of the anorexia and bulimia. People on TV, magazines and newspaper always discuss how to lose weight, obesity and the beauty stuff. And we see the extreme results of the anerexia occasionally, for example top fashion model die because of t he hunger. And there are so many anonymous people we do not know but need a help to handle with those issues. Due to those fact, I think the insurance companies need to cover the eating disorder to their care plan.
