#340B has protected at-risk patients, hospitals, and communities for decades — but pharma wants to rewrite the rules to line their already massive pockets. Drug companies with massive profits are attacking safety-net hospitals and holding 340B discounts hostage just to make even larger profits. These hospitals already are operating on razor-thin margins, and for many of them, 340B is the only thing keeping them alive. Don’t break the backbone of the nation’s health care safety net just to enrich drugmakers. #Protect340B

Social determinants of health such as housing, employment, and income account for as much as 80-90% of health outcomes. #340B hospitals support more patients facing housing and employment insecurity than non-340B hospitals, helping more vulnerable populations access critical health care. #Protect340B

#340B hospitals aren’t just using their savings to make drugs cheaper for patients, they’re connecting their communities to the care they need. Research shows West Virginia hospitals provided more than $1 billion in community benefits, including expanding health-focused programs, covering unreimbursed and uncompensated care, and more.

About 46 million Americans rely on rural hospitals for essential health care. #340B helps these hospitals stay open, offer more services, and continue serving their communities. #Protect340B

90% of #340B hospitals use their savings to expand care access to underserved populations, including oncology, HIV/AIDS, and other specialized services. #Becauseof340B, more hospitals can provide more of this vital care.

#340B savings are funded from drugmaker profits, not taxpayer dollars, and safety-net hospitals rely on them to serve their communities. Reducing access to those discounts would put more financial strain on struggling hospitals and raise the potential for taxpayer-funded interventions to keep them open. 340B cuts don’t save Americans money — they cost them more.

Many rural and safety-net hospitals run on razor-thin margins to keep their doors open. For these hospitals, #340B is the bridge between operation and closure. That’s why it’s crucial to #Protect340B

#340B hospitals help promote greater health equity by bringing health care affordability and accessibility where needed most, at no cost to taxpayers. #Protect340B

#340B savings go beyond offering more health care services. #Becauseof340B, hospitals also invest in health screenings, connect patients to more resources, and address social determinants of health.

Last week, four U.S. Representatives introduced a bipartisan bill that would pause the #340B rebate pilot for two years and prohibit the use of federal funds to implement any similar program within that time frame. 340B Health strongly supports this bill, and we applaud these House members for endorsing this much-needed piece of legislation. Research shows that a 340B rebate program would place significant financial and administrative burden on safety-net hospitals already operating on thin margins while floating billions of dollars to drugmaker profits. These hospitals should focus their resources on expanding essential health care access, not adhering to unlawful drugmaker demands. 340B Health urges members of Congress to support this legislation and keep critical health care services accessible nationwide. #Protect340B

Research shows #340B hospitals see patients with higher levels of unemployment, low income, and housing burdens. #Becauseof340B, these populations can receive the essential medical care they need.
