The 340B Drug Pricing Program is essential to AHF in fulfilling our mission. 340B allows us and Ryan White HIV Clinics across the country to provide healthcare, medication, and other necessary services to patients in need.
The big drug companies are constantly attacking 340B and are working to destroy the program. The loss of 340B would be devastating to people living with HIV. Representative Doris Matsui (D-CA) introduced H.R.7635 – the 340B PATIENTS Act, a federal bill that would prohibit manufacturers from restricting 340B pricing availability for contract pharmacy relationships or otherwise imposing conditions on offering 340B pricing via those arrangements.
Matsui’s bill would formally codify the concept of contract pharmacies (and a covered entity’s ability to receive 340B pricing through those relationships) within the 340B statute itself. AHF is strongly in support of this bill and we need your help in getting Representatives to support its passage.
