Making that treatment available for all people suffering from eating disorders is the goal for New York Senator Alessandra Biaggi. She sponsored a new bill to expand the definition of eating disorders so that people suffering with all forms-- not just anorexia and bulimia, will be able to get insurance for their treatment.
Biaggi says she hopes the bill-- if signed by Governor Cuomo-- will encourage more people suffering with the disease to get, what Howard says, is life saving treatment.
