From the Paper:

"This essay examines some of the issues related to the psychological disease anorexia nervosa. In "Starved Out", Cynthia Fox uses the example of two anorexic sisters to show that patients are often not reimbursed adequately from their insurance companies. Three more articles discovered show evidence that this is true. This essay will argue that anorexia nervosa is a serious, even deadly disease that is often not treated properly and adequately as patients are forced to terminate or limit their treatment due to limited benefits from insurance companies."
