The resolution calls on Congress to extend medical coverage for hyperbaric oxygenation therapy to veterans, highlighting the significant number of concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that occur annually. With estimates of 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions each year, the resolution emphasizes the need for effective treatment options for veterans suffering from TBIs and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who are often reliant on potentially harmful medications. It points out that TBIs are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S., resulting in millions of emergency visits and thousands of deaths each year.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is presented as a promising treatment that enhances the body's natural healing processes by administering pure oxygen in a controlled environment, which can significantly alleviate symptoms associated with TBIs. The resolution urges the North Dakota Legislative Assembly to advocate for this therapy's coverage, asserting that veterans deserve the best possible care for their injuries. It concludes with a directive for the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to each member of Congress to garner support for this initiative.
