Slashing what Medicare pays #340B hospitals’ for drugs won’t lower #drugprices or save money for Medicare or seniors, but will weaken the safety net. President Trump and Congress should #Protect340B and focus on drug price increases that drive up costs and reduce access to care.

. @LillyPad 's decision to refuse #340B pricing for all drugs dispensed at community-based pharmacies is an end run around the 340B statute that will hurt low-income & rural patients & the safety-net hospitals caring for them. Our statement: #Protect340B

Independent research confirms #340B drug discounts represent less than two cents on the drug market dollar - a relatively small amount that enables hospitals to have a major impact on patient lives without asking American taxpayers for a dime. #Protect340B
