Did you know you’re paying a hidden tax because of #340B? The 340B program allows big hospitals to purchase medications at deeply discounted rates and mark up the price drastically, raising costs for patients, taxpayers, employers and the government. Learn more about how 340B is being misused and costing all of us below ⬇️
Robin Hood in reverse: the #340B program was meant to help vulnerable patients access medicines, not fund hospital revenue streams in wealthy suburbs. @JustinLeventhal explains why Congress should require hospitals to prove the program is actually reaching the patients it was built for.

AIR340B member @NationalGrange is calling on Congress to fix #340B and ensure it actually serves the vulnerable patients and communities it was built for. It's time to see real change. Learn more: nationalgrange.org/2026/10/0…
New @IQVIA_global report: the #340B program cost employers an estimated $12.8 billion in 2025 due to lost negotiated rebates, nearly double what employers lost in 2023. The 340B program comes at a cost to us all. Congress must take action. iqvia.com/-/media/iqvia/pdfs…

"Some Medicare patients owe more in coinsurance than the hospital paid for their drug. That arithmetic sounds impossible."
That's #340B in hospitals for you. All about the profits, not the patients.

Clear, standardized reporting on how savings from the #340B program are used can return 340B to its original goal of supporting vulnerable patients vs. hospital bottom lines. #340BReform zurl.co/83wvb
💵The #340B program reached $244B in program spending with hospitals, clinics and their for-profit partners capturing nearly 60 cents of every dollar spent. The hospital markup program has doubled in size in just four years, and patients, taxpayers and employers are the ones paying the price. Learn more in a new report: bit.ly/BRG-340B
“Has 340B's rapid expansion been driven by patient need-or by the market power of large teaching hospitals with greater resources, staffing, and financial reserves?” Check out a white paper from Health Capital Group on how #340B expansion is driven by financial opportunism: 340breform.org/report/health…
The @mnhealth report about the #340B program in Minnesota raises important questions about whether 340B resources are actually reaching the patients and communities the program was designed to help. Congress needs to step in to fix 340B: health.state.mn.us/data/340b…
“A discount this big shouldn’t be a mystery.” A new @CancerCare & @PioneerPolicy study of nearly 4,000 hospitals finds that #340B hospitals spend less on charity care than hospitals that don’t participate in the program. This research reinforces the need for greater transparency in 340B to ensure the program serves patients. Read more: cancercare.org/press/release…

"Large hospitals and contract pharmacies have increasingly abused the [#340B] program to capture substantial financial margins, often failing to pass critical drug discounts directly to the patients who need them most." Christina Smith of @Protecttaxpayers highlights how this #340B abuse is a problem nationwide. A federal fix is needed to ensure the program has real transparency and accountability.

77% of Americans believe hospitals should be legally required to pass #340B savings directly to patients. Kasia Mulligan of @Patients1stOrg explains why the @HRSAgov #340B rebate model pilot is a meaningful first step, but Congress must add real transparency and accountability to the program.

Thank you to Rep Bob Latta (Ohio) @HouseCommerce for confirming with GAO’s Andrew Von Ah that the federal government probably doesn’t need over 130 broadband programs after BEAD is completed
We're excited to kick off the AIR340B Stakeholder Forum today! Join us as policy experts and patient advocates examine the impact of the 340B program on our health care system and what real reform could mean for patients, employers and taxpayers alike. 🧵 Follow along today for insights from our three panels. #AIR340BStakeholderForum #340BCostToUsAll
Our final panel of the day underscored that policymakers must put patients first in any #340B reform. @MattieRheumMD of @CSROAdvocacy, Kim Czubaruk of @CancerCare and Dr. Ray Serrano of @LULAC covered how the program's current incentives have widened disparities for vulnerable communities and how hospital consolidation tied to 340B is shaping access for patients managing cancer and other chronic diseases. #AIR340BStakeholderForum #340BCostToUsAll
And that’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who joined us for the AIR340B Stakeholder Forum today! We heard from patient advocates, policy experts and thought leaders who made it clear that we must bring greater transparency, greater accountability and improved patient affordability to the 340B program. #AIR340BStakeholderForum
