America's Essential Hospitals

Washington, D.C. - We thank Chairman Cassidy for his interest in the 340B program, and we look forward to working with him to strengthen the program and ensure 340B hospitals have the resources they need to best serve their patients. We are particularly eager to ensure no burdensome requirements are placed on 340B hospitals, favoring drug manufacturers that have continually sought to undercut this vital program and increase profits at the expense of patients.
