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!
We also discuss 340B’s legislative history. Drug companies agreed to expand the program in return for other policies that benefitted them: more business through Part D and the ACA as well as prohibitions on importing low-cost drugs and the government negotiating drug prices.
