The resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act, which aims to provide individuals born with congenital anomalies, such as cleft lip and cleft palate, with access to necessary medical treatments throughout their lives. It emphasizes the importance of requiring private health insurance plans to cover all medically necessary treatments, including surgeries and therapies, without imposing lifetime or annual limits. The resolution highlights the financial struggles families face when insurance coverage is inadequate, which can lead to delayed or insufficient care for their loved ones.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the advocacy efforts of Emily Brubaker, a young Alaskan who has a rare congenital anomaly and has actively campaigned for the passage of the Act. It calls on the Alaska Congressional Delegation to support the legislation to ensure comprehensive and affordable healthcare for residents with congenital anomalies and urges lawmakers to promote equitable access to vital healthcare for all individuals. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key government officials, including the President and members of the Alaska delegation in Congress.
