Alliance for Integrity and Reform of 340B
@AIR340B
AIR340B is dedicated to reforming the 340B program to ensure large hospitals are not profiting at the expense of vulnerable patients, taxpayers & employers.
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…
“The 340B program should never be about padding hospital profits — it should be about helping people like me live long enough to need a retirement plan.” The broken 340B program raises costs for us all while hospitals mark up discounted medications to boost their own bottom…
There are NO requirements for #340B contract pharmacies to share savings with patients & they often charge patients full price, profiting deeply in the process. The 340B PATIENTS Act would only expand a program known for rampant abuse and rising costs. Middlemen shouldn’t profit…
Pick a state and see how #340B is one of the biggest taxpayer ripoffs in history. Great job by @PioneerBoston in pulling together 2025 state fact sheets. @CMSGov take note as 340B needs a major fix to get help to patients in need, not greedy CEOs. pioneerinstitute.org/340babuse/340b…
@PioneerBoston has released updated #340B state fact sheets for 2025. Learn more about how hospitals and for-profit pharmacies (mostly owned by PBMs) are profiteering from a federal program intended to support poor and uninsured patients. @GHLForg pioneerinstitute.org/340babuse/340b…
Allowing #340B and contract pharmacy expansion would only enable health industry middlemen to continue profiting off patients. The 340B PATIENTS Act would inflate an already abused program with no safeguards for patients. Congress must reject this misguided legislation. 340B…
The 340B hospital markup program is broken and in dire need of reform. A new @Health_Affairs study found that #340B child sites (hospital-owned outpatient clinics) are being placed in wealthier, healthier and better-insured neighborhoods rather than the vulnerable communities…
NEW RESEARCH ➡️Hospitals are using #340B to boost profits, imposing a hidden tax on us all. 340B costs state and federal taxpayers an estimated $6.5 billion per year from forgone Medicaid rebates. Learn more: bit.ly/44N3We1
“Hospitals ultimately realized they could buy heavily discounted drugs and then resell them to insured, middle-class patients at huge markups. In some cases, hospitals have charged cancer patients nearly ten times what they paid to acquire the drug.” A new @RealClearHealth…
The #340B hospital markup program is costing taxpayers BIG time. According to @BRGexpert, 340B abuse cost the federal government $4.2 billion and states $2.3 billion in lost Medicaid rebates last year alone. While hospitals profit, patients and taxpayers pay the price. Read more:…
"Non-profit" hospital system buys naming rights to a stadium. While issuing $74M of medical debt against patients, providing ONLY $3M in charity care, and 8 of their executives recieve more than $1M annually from OLOL or related organizations. No wonder care is so expensive #340B
Our Lady of the Lake Arena? Renderings obtained by @theadvocatebr show the hospital has pursued the naming rights for LSU's new arena. News from @PatSloanTurner: theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
As Dr. Horn concluded, the #340B Program is fundamentally a “cash transfer program” that distorts healthcare markets by inflating drug profit margins, an incentive to which providers actively respond. forbes.com/sites/gebai/20…
Across the country, hospitals are exploiting the #340B program by inflating health care costs for patients, employers and taxpayers. Want to know the story in your state? Check out the AIR340B interactive map to learn more: 340breform.org/340b-hospitals/

💰Hidden tax alert: With no transparency or accountability measures in the #340B program, big, tax-exempt 340B hospitals are marking up prices by up to 7x or more to boost their own profits. It's time to #Fix340B so hospitals don't pad their pockets while raising costs for us…
Did you know? States pay an estimated $32 billion higher per year in Medicaid costs because of #340B. In fact, 10% of overall Medicaid spending can be contributed to the growth of the 340B program. Taxpayers are footing the bill for the broken 340B program.
#340B hospitals and clinics purchase medicines at huge discounts but are OVERCHARGING patients and profiting in the process. In North Carolina, 340B hospitals marked up cancer medicines by up to 12.7x. Congress must take action to #Fix340B and curb 340B markups.
“They are buying low and selling very, very high.” A new @MichCapCon article highlights how large #340B hospitals are buying discounted drugs at deeply discounted rates and billing patients or their insurers marked up prices. In fact, drug price markups can be 7x higher at 340B…
The #340B program is driving increased hospital consolidation and raising costs for cancer care. “This uneven playing field has driven vertical integration, prompting hospitals to acquire physician practices and expand clinics to increase drug revenue.” Read more in @Forbes:…
“As a physician, I am fearful of the ways in which state 340B legislation in its current form could exacerbate costs to patients and threaten the viability of community-based providers." Without congressional reform, the broken #340B program will continue to raise costs for us…
A new @ADVIhealth report reveals 46 out of 68 re-audited #340B entities had continued or new violations, even after getting caught once. The system is broken. We must bring long overdue accountability and proper oversight to 340B to stop abuses. Learn more:…
