Hello friends, family, and strangers. I have created this petition in hopes of getting the attention of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in order to receive funding for treatment. I have been struggling with an eating disorder since I was 16 years old and do not have the money to fund my own treatment. I have reached out to several facilities across the country and in the United States but residential treatment costs anywhere from 800-1500 dollars a day. I have been to residential treatment before when I was 17 but it was not successful as I continue to struggle at the age of 19. I am ready to recover this time for myself but cannot do this alone. Thank you for helping me out by signing this petition in support of my recovery.

i keep scrolling through the comments and seeing so many people sharing their own experiences and it honestly makes me feel less alone in this mess. i am still trying to figure out how to navigate all these phone calls to the insurance people but hearing from you guys makes the endless hold music slightly more bearable.

Government needs to prioritize this. No one should have to crowd fund their own life saving treatment.

Mental health care should be covered by OHIP. It is life or death for so many people and the costs are just insane right now.

My niece went through this and it is so hard to find help. Healthcare needs to step up and stop acting like this isnt a medical emergency.

This is ridiculous. 1500 a day?? Who is supposed to afford that? Fix the system!
