AHF criticizes Congressional leadership for buying into Pharma’s
false narrative on the 340B program—a federally-administered drug
discount program that costs the government and taxpayers nothing,
and works successfully to allow nonprofits and hospitals to provide more
care and services to the needy.
Prodded by deep-pocketed Big Pharma as part of its relentless attack
on the 340B drug discount program, the House Energy and Commerce
Committee today released a new report unfairly criticizing the 340B Drug
Pricing Program, which was first established by Congress in 1992.
340B’s goal is to “… stretch scarce Federal resources as far as
possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more
comprehensive services” – something it has successfully done since its
inception.
