#Mentalhealth challenges can happen to anyone in any community, as @ReisThebault reports https://t.co/pnaa8Ycy1s. That's why #340B hospitals use program savings to offer mental health services with pharmacy support. #Protect340B
Via @sam_baker: New @commonwealthfnd research finds 23% of 19-64 yr olds are #underinsured, as the percentage continues to rise https://t.co/CVEfH0gvEe. The #340B program helps hospitals provide access to needed medications for these types of patients. #Protect340B
We agree with @POTUS that it's vital to lower #prescriptiondrug costs, but we should not cut #340B. The program at no cost to taxpayers allows nonprofit hospitals to stretch their resources to serve more low-income and rural patients. https://t.co/LK3RJUTYCN #SOTU#Protect340B

.@CDCgov research connects the birth defect gastroschisis with heavy use of #opioids during pregnancy. Such neonatal conditions motivate #340B hospitals to help pregnant women with opioid use disorders & their babies receive the care they need https://t.co/sePiDDA7vD #Protect340B
How can an Idaho county hospital create a much-needed oncology program without taxpayer dollars? Dorsie Sullenger from @madisonmedicine explains how critical the #340B program is for his community https://t.co/W1ckSoMFy7 #Facesof340B#Protect340B https://t.co/3hSeiXE3PP
Interested in how large the discounts are in the #340B program? They account for less than 2% of the drug market but make a world of difference for low-income and rural patients. https://t.co/pJHUrRh5cn #340BFacts#Protect340B
It's still flu season. Hospitals like Princeton Community Hospital in West Virginia use #340B savings to offer free community #fluvaccine drives to ensure low-income and rural patients are protected. https://t.co/fTSPX4vK24 #Protect340B
A recent study showed #opioid related deaths of children and teens increased threefold between 1999-2016. #340B hospitals & providers are developing innovative programs to address the challenges facing opioid use disorder patients. https://t.co/iKU4k0iVMC #Protect340B
How will the debate over #340B continue in 2019? With a new Congress sworn in, we look back at 2018 and preview 2019 here: https://t.co/kz2tyjSVDg #Protect340B
Now that it is 2019, @HHSGov regulations have taken effect to ensure #BigPharma companies must be transparent and are held accountable for overcharging for #340B drugs. https://t.co/P1JuKPCyVt
Safety-net hospitals and patients have won a major victory with the federal court ruling that 30% Medicare cuts to #340B hospitals exceed @HHSGov authority and must cease immediately. We eagerly await remedies for the harmful 2018 cuts. https://t.co/bP6SdECKRc #Protect340B
Why #Protect340B? Because 95% of DSH hospitals use #340B program savings to provide care to patients that otherwise wouldn’t be paid for. 80% use savings to cover the portion of care costs that Medicaid doesn’t cover.https://t.co/lW4f6ZJQti
