The Chicago Tribune printed an article today on insurance coverage of eating disorders in Illinois. There is legislation in process dealing with anorexia and bulimia treatment. Here is an excerpt: "Illinois lawmakers can't do much about the physical and emotional toll, but they did move to ease the financial burden on families, recently approving legislation that would require insurance companies to pay for treatment of anorexia and bulimia. If Gov. Rod Blagojevich signs the bill, Illinois will become the 17th state to mandate such coverage. The measure is part of a larger national debate about addressing inequities in insurance coverage between psychiatric and physical ailments."
