Congress should act on overwhelming support for changes to vital drug discount program

Over the last year, the pandemic has upended our normal lives, exacerbated health inequities, and tested the resiliency of our communities as we deal with the public health crisis and subsequent economic fallout. We have also seen a strong reliance on safety-net programs to stem the hardship faced by many Americans, making it all the more important for programs like the 340B Drug Pricing Program to work as intended: to serve as a vital safety-net for low-income, vulnerable, and uninsured patients to access the medicines they need. But a new poll found the majority of voters (70%) worry 340B is not working to benefit needy patients and that it is in dire need of reform.
