340B Program savings should help rural hospitals and community health centers, not large for-profit companies.  @SenMullin, please champion bipartisan #340BReform to close program loopholes and protect vulnerable patients.

On Wednesday, the @GOPHELP committee will hold a hearing on the future of biotech. Rare diseases, like Acromegaly, depend on R&D to develop innovative treatments. @SenMullin, please push to strengthen funding for the FDA and NIH to support R&D and patient access to treatments.


Thank you @SenMullin for listening to patient voices & pushing progress on the upcoming @GOPHELP hearing on #340B. Spending soared from $6.6B (2010) to $43.9B (2021) while patients still face barriers. Reform must introduce transparency and accountability to this program.


The 340B Program’s rapid expansion has been linked to insurance premium increases of $22 billion a year, costing families $415/year. This was never the goal.   @SenMullin please support #340BReform to restore integrity & reinvest savings in care. nationalalliancehealth.org/wp-content/upl…


@LAGovJeffLandry, Louisiana patients need reform that tackles the root cause of high drug costs: PBMs’ profits tied to inflated prices. We need to bring transparency and fairness to the system to lower out of pocket costs for patients. #LALeg


Large healthcare entities say the 340B Program wasn’t meant to lower patient costs, yet they pocket millions while vulnerable patients are left behind.   @SenMullin please help to #Fix340B. help.senate.gov/rep/newsroom/p…


The #MFN rule won’t help Medicaid patients. No cost savings, just less access & lost innovation.    We need reform that works. The #EPICAct is the right path for patients. @RepGusBilirakis @DrNealDunnFL2 @SenAshleyMoody @SenBillCassidy @SenatorWicker @SenMullin


Small-molecule medicines treat cancer, heart disease & more, but they face harmful obstacles under the "pill penalty."   Patients deserve better. @VernBuchanan @RepGregSteube @repkevinhern, please stand up for health access and innovation. Support the #EPICAct to protect patients


90% of U.S. prescriptions are pills. The “pill penalty” puts those at risk, leading to fewer treatments and less access.    @VernBuchanan @RepGregSteube @repkevinhern, please support the bipartisan #EPICAct to fix this harmful penalty.


Patients shouldn’t have to pay more while middlemen profit. Congress must include #PBMReform in the year-end healthcare package @RepGusBilirakis @VernBuchanan @Kat_Cammack @USRepKCastor @DrNealDunnFL2 @RepDarrenSoto @RepGregSteube @repkevinhern
