We're excited to share our 10 Principles!

In short: We believe the #340B drug discount program needs stability, equity and transparency.

Let’s SET the record straight ⬇️

[Archive: Rep. Abigail Spanberger @RepSpanberger]

Last night, @ExelixisInc became the 17th pharma company to announce it would be breaking the law and withholding 340B prescription drug discounts.

And they had the nerve to do it as we were on the House floor calling out these companies and calling on @HHSGov to #Defend340B.

[340B Health @340BHealth]

We urge Congress to pass the #Protect340B Act (H.R. 4390) to stop #PBMs and payers from siphoning off #340B savings from safety-net hospitals, health centers, and clinics. #HealthPolicy

[340B Matters @340BMatters]

As millions of Americans are worried about rising prices and economic uncertainty, many prescription drug manufacturers are refusing to honor 340B discounts.

That means higher drug prices for vulnerable seniors, rural residents, and safety-net providers.

We must #Defend340B.

[340B Health @340BHealth]

Thank you @RepSpanberger for leading a bipartisan group of your U.S. House colleagues to speak on the House floor about the need to #Protect340B from drug company restrictions on #340B discounts. We appreciate your powerful words about why it is vital to #Defend340B.

#340b lobby day. Virtual mtgs with lawmakers to ask @HHSGov enforce penalties on #BigPharma illegal pricing restrictions on #340b drugs. Patients suffer while #BigPharma makes trillions of profit. @340BHealth

[340B Health @340BHealth]

Community pharmacy partnerships with safety-net hospitals provide vital resources for #ruralhealth. Yet 16 drug companies are restricting these partnerships. Learn more: https://t.co/ZJUchccfOs #340B #Protect340B

[340B Matters @340BMatters]

We need to put these drugmakers on FULL BLAST for taking precious resources away from these safety-net providers!

Your CEOs make high enough salaries without the #340B discounts added in.

Big Pharma - how do you sleep at night knowing you took BILLIONS of dollars away from hospitals & clinics that serve low-income, uninsured, rural, and minority communities through #340B?

Patients are hurt by barriers to care, yet $LLY $AZN $SNY $NVO $NVS $UTHR $MRK @boehringerus $UCBJY $AMGN $ABBV $BMY $PFE $GSK $GILD $JNJ are placing roadblocks in the way of accessing medications and health services. Learn more: https://t.co/ZJUchccfOs #340B #Protect340B

Guess “Over 135 Years of Caring” has officially come to an end, huh?

Shame on you @JNJNews for ripping the rug out from under safety-net providers and the underserved patients they care for!!! #340BMatters #Protect340B

[Iowa Pharmacy Association @IowaPharmacyIPA]

Sen. @ChuckGrassley sent a letter to the FTC, urging them to move forward in investigating #PBMs.

“PBMs operate with little to no transparency, making it very difficult if not impossible to understand the flow of money.”

Here are some of the many ways #340B funds #healthcare services at safety-net hospitals for patients in need, all at no cost to taxpayers. #Protect340B #MedTwitter

[Michael Lessard @mklpharmer]

@CyclingForMind @SafeCyclingEire @IrishCycle @CitizenW0lf @righttobikeit On a public road there is little to no expectation of privacy. Client does not have a case.

[Michael Lessard @mklpharmer]

@PhRMA On the contrary, the 340B program is functioning exactly as intended. It enables federal dollars to stretch to health care entities who serve our neediest patients, allowing the expansion of their services to those communities without federal tax and redistribution. #340BHealth

While my hospital is caring for patients amid #COVID19, @LillyPad acknowledges their 22% jump in Q4 revenues is due in part to circumventing #340B discounts on #insulin. Read more: https://t.co/NfX3Pg94EQ. Please #Protect340B @RepAdrianSmith @SenSasse @SenatorFischer

[340B Health @340BHealth]

.@LillyPad reaped a 22% revenue increase in Q4, partially by refusing #340B discounts to safety-net hospitals. This is amid a pandemic that is sapping hospitals' resources. Learn more: https://t.co/NnchSCin2W #Drugpricing #Protect340B

[Ted Slafsky @TSlafsky]

Great piece by @SherylNYT describing real world impact of #340B actions by @LillyPad @AstraZeneca @SanofiUS @novonordiskus @Novartis & United Therapeutics to cut off discounts to most vulnerable. Could not come at worse time.Time for @SecAzar or @realDonaldTrump
to finally act.
