It is absurd to require Insurance companies to cover "eating disorders". Sorry, but they all start as a behavior that can be change. That is not medical and I don't feel any need to pay for your lack of will power. The inablity to stop on your own or reach out for help with the emotional problem that underlies the "eating disorder".

Dcm, you have absolutely NO idea what eating disorders do to a person who struggles with it and the family/friends that surround them.
