?? NEW WHITE PAPER ALERT ?? The American Benefits Council today released a new white paper examining the hidden costs of the 340B drug pricing program on #employers and working families. With nearly 180 million Americans covered by employer-sponsored health plans, the program’s exponential growth is raising annual #healthcare costs for these plans by $5.2 billion—contrary to claims that it imposes no cost on taxpayers. ?? What’s driving these increased costs? ? Loss of prescription drug rebates ? Increased use of higher-cost therapies ? Hospital and provider consolidation leading to more expensive care settings ??

A shout-out to our partners at the Community Oncology Alliance, for including #340B reform in their blueprint for reforming the U.S. healthcare system. "Originally created to serve a small number of safety-net hospitals, the program now covers thousands of covered entities and generates billions of dollars for hospitals. 340B has created unintended consequences that are harmful to patients and the health care system writ large through increasing prices and consolidation." We look forward to continuing to work together to bring greater transparency and accountability to the program.
Today, we released the?COA?Prescription for Health Care Reform - a roadmap for Congress to stabilize the U.S. health care system, protect patients, and restore competition in care delivery. This comprehensive blueprint diagnoses the fundamental challenges facing our health care system, outlines the consequences for patients across America, and presents actionable solutions that Congress must act on now to address these urgent issues.
