Anorexia nervosa has the highest death rate of any mental disorder. And insurance companies are refusing to pay for the treatments these people need.
I always thought I hated government and policy... but more and more I am seeing the staunch need for involvement in the political arena. People's mothers, sisters, cousins, and nieces will be denied the medical care they need because insurance companies don't want to pay for it. It's so frustrating! We really need to change the way we do health in America.
