In this powerful episode of Our Forever Smiles, host Laura Arroyo welcomes Teresa Peyton Bridges and returning guest Corinne Altrichter to share their deeply personal journeys through countless surgeries and the struggles of navigating insurance. Both Teresa and Corinne have faced overwhelming challenges in securing the care they or their children need, highlighting the urgent need for change in the healthcare system.
Together, they break down why the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (ELSA) is so critical for individuals with congenital anomalies and how its passage would protect families from the financial and emotional toll of insurance denials.
Tune in for an honest, eye-opening conversation about advocacy, resilience, and the fight for fair coverage — because no family should have to battle for medically necessary care.
