Alliance for Integrity and Reform of 340B @AIR340B

“Without reforms, that program will only continue to drive up costs for small businesses and the self-employed.” – @sbecouncil @KarenKerrigan calls out #340B abuse, leading to increased consolidation and higher premiums for employers. Small businesses should not foot the bill for hospital exploitation. Read more in @dcexaminer: washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4564096…

FACT: #340B spending hit $81.4B in 2024 ($148B at list price, per @HRSAgov). Hospitals exploit this gap by pocketing deep discounts instead of passing the savings to patients. Urgent reform is needed. Read our #HealthPolicy recommendations: bit.ly/42womaq

“For a state dominated by small businesses, public employers and self insured plans, these costs are not abstract – they show up directly in higher premiums, rising out of pocket expenses, and tighter budgets” – HEAL Collaborative Howard Mosby highlights how #340B is a hidden cost to us all. Clear guardrails are long overdue. Read more in @wvgazettemail: wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op_ed_…

💰 A private equity-backed hospital chain is converting to a nonprofit, potentially adding $11 million annually to their bottom line through the #340B program alone. 340B is so lucrative that for-profit hospitals are converting to nonprofit status to benefit from the program.

“For the first time, policymakers would have a clear view into how 340B is being used. That transparency could help curb abuse and better align the program with its original purpose.” – As conversations in Washington ramp up around #340B program abuse, commonsense reforms could increase program integrity.

“A policy designed to support patients is helping generate funds that are increasingly steered into investment portfolios and executive compensation.” - @MarquetteU @MedicareMeddler warns that without federal #340B reform, hospitals will continue to use the program as a revenue stream rather than a lifeline for patients.

“While the hospital and pharmacy pay a discounted 340B price for a prescription medication, the patient rarely does.” – @PBMprojectMN Mark Blum calls attention to #PBMs and large hospital systems exploiting #340B for profit, leaving patients with inflated drug costs and increased premiums. Reform is needed to stop the #340BHiddenTax. Read more in @duluthnews: duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/column…

As a pharmacist, I understand how critical the 340B program is to rural and community hospitals - when it’s working properly. @HRSAgov’s proposed rebate model pilot is a great step toward improving transparency, cracking down on abuse, and ensuring 340B discounts reach the entities and patients who need them most.

A program built to help vulnerable patients is being hijacked by large hospital systems pocketing billions. 340B has grown to $80B+ with little accountability. Proud to support the Trump admin's Rebate Model Pilot Program to strengthen oversight & program integrity.

“What was meant to be a patient-focused program is now a hospital markup program where large, tax-exempt hospital systems buy discounted drugs, mark them up by as much as 1,000% or more and bill patients and insurers the list price.” #340B #340BReform tinyurl.com/4cbhdrkk
