A new report finds hospitals, clinics and their for-profit partners generated $142B in profits from 340B medicine markups in 2025 alone. The evidence is clear: The debate is no longer whether the federal 340B program needs reform, but how to reform it to ensure the program serves the patients it was created to help.

The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it.
After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives.
This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.”
The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was.
Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning.

The ability to profit from deeply discounted medicines gives #340B hospitals an incentive to buy up smaller, independent clinics, turning them into 340B offsite facilities. This consolidation shifts patients to more expensive hospital-owned settings, resulting in higher prices and less localized care. Learn more: 340breform.org/

Did you know many nonprofit, tax-exempt hospitals also participate in the #340B program? They can purchase medicines at steep discounts and bill patients at inflated rates, profiting in the process. There’s very little evidence to show 340B discounts are reaching patients, so it’s interesting that some nonprofit 340B hospitals are spending millions on stadium naming rights. 340B discounts should help patients afford medicines, not fund hospital marketing campaigns.

From our partners at the @AutoimmuneAssoc
We agree! Congress must take action to restore the #340B program to its founding purpose and ensure resources reach the patients and communities they were intended to serve.

You don’t even have to step foot in a hospital to feel the cost of 340B. Every #340B markup is a tax on working families. When hospitals charge 7x or more for discounted drugs, the costs flow to employers (higher premiums), taxpayers (Medicare increases) and communities (less tax revenue). This isn't healthcare—it's wealth transfer to hospitals. Contact your lawmakers today to demand reform: bit.ly/3TAykCV

Senate HELP Chair @SenBillCassidy on the urgent need for #340B reform: “This [program] never meant to be part of an earnings call. It was meant to be part of patient care.” Keep reading in @PunchbowlNews: bit.ly/4kdcK33

Commend @GOPHELP Chair @BillCassidy for the thorough report released this morning on the broken #340B program. Just shows the massive savings that hospitals make but there is no transparency into how savings are used. And #PBMs are making a mint from 34)B.
Today, Chair @SenBillCassidy, released a report detailing findings from his years’ long investigation into how covered entities use and generate revenue from the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
