Eating disorder research receives some of the lowest amounts of research funding compared to all other diseases at $30 research dollars per person affected versus $188 research dollars for Autism and $682 research dollars for Breast Cancer.[3] On May 21, 2015, Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL-21) and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL-27) introduced the bill in the House of Representatives AboutThe Anna Westin Act of 2015 is written to help those affected by eating disorders get the care they need by focusing on improved training and clarity of mental health parity. The bill is designed to have a zero CBO score. In addition, the House of Representatives version of the Anna Westin Act includes the truth in advertising act, a small inter-agency study looking at digitally altered images of humans as they related to fair advertising practices.[9] The three components of the bill are as follows:
HistoryThe Anna Westin Act of 2015 received its name in observance of 21-year-old Anna Westin. Anna grew up living with her mom, dad and sisters in the small town of Chaska, Minnesota. When Anna was 16, she developed anorexia. Anna received outpatient treatment for her eating disorder and Anna and her family thought her treatment was successful. Unfortunately, when Anna returned from college her sophomore year, her parents realized she had relapsed and was suffering from severe anorexia. Anna’s family took her to the doctor and Anna was told she needed to be hospitalized. When Anna went to be admitted to the hospital, Anna’s insurer refused to cover inpatient treatment. Shortly thereafter, on February 17, 2000, Anna died from suicide as a direct result of her battle with anorexia.[8][13][15] Kitty Westin, Anna's mother, established Minnesota’s The Anna Westin Foundation (now The Emily Program Foundation) and other resources to help people experiencing eating disorders.[16] References1. ^1 Wade, T.
