Our paper shows that, while there is considerable anecdotal evidence of 340B funds being used to bolster the health care safety net, there is an urgent need for more causally interpretable evidence on both intended impacts and potential unintended consequences.

My paper with Joseph Garuccio reviewing the existing literature on the 340B drug discounting program has been published in the Journal of Economic Surveys: https://t.co/kkJwQ7VLgS

[Charles Courtemanche, PhD @Courtemanche_CJ]

The program has seen a flurry of legislative and legal activity recently, as hospitals argue that the discounts are critical to their provision of charity care and unprofitable service lines while drug manufacturers argue that the program has grown beyond its original intent.

A new study of mine co-authored with Joey Garuccio is out

Senate Bill 14 in the Kentucky legislative session involves the federal 340B program, which bolsters the health care safety net without taxpayer money. This is a fascinating program that economists should pay more attention to!
