Dear Sen / Rep

This Republican Administration is proposing changes to the 340B Drug Pricing Program and I want you to get very vocal about why the proposed changes are a bad idea.

Right now, hospitals, community health centers, and other 340B program participants get chemotherapy drugs and other high-cost pharmaceuticals at a discount.

This Republican Administration wants to change the rule such that program participants would pay full price for covered medications up front, then receive a rebate from manufacturers later, after submitting paperwork.

Why on earth should this Republican Administration put more bureaucratic hurdles between patients and their needed medications? How many more admin staff positions would a hospital need to hire to manage the rebate paperwork?

Talk to the rural hospitals in your state -- they will tell you that requiring them to pay full price up-front will leave many of them on the verge of bankruptcy. They will tell you that hiring additional staff to do the bureaucracy required to get the reimbursement will put them on shaky financial footing.

Make it clear that you stand with the doctors and the patients. Please get loud on both social and conventional media about what this change would mean for your constituents.

Then make sure they do not change the 340B program.
