The 340B prescription drug discount program is a vital lifeline for safety-net health care organizations that provide a high level of services to vulnerable and rural communities.
Big Pharma is restricting where hospitals and health clinics participating in the 340B discount drug program can send medications to be filled. My new bill will ban those restrictions to help rural providers stay open and let rural patients get their prescriptions close to home.
