NFED Asks Advocates to Contact Congress to Cosponsor the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act
The National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias asks advocates to contact their Senators and Legislators to cosponsor the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (ELSA), H.R. 1379/S. 560. This federal legislation will mandate that insurance and self-funded, employer-sponsored health benefit plans provide coverage for all missing and malformed body parts, including teeth and associated structures, to restore and improve function. This applies to all congenital anomalies, including ectodermal dysplasias.
