When people have health insurance, everyone benefits. Hospitals and clinics stay open. Taxpayer dollars stay in state. Small businesses can keep part-time and entry-level employees. Employees stay healthier. Learn more about Medicaid: communityhealthcare.net/medi…

Health centers use every dollar of 340B savings to support and expand services for patients. 340B helps us: ✔️ Keep clinics open; ✔️ Expand behavioral health; ✔️ Provide affordable medications; ✔️ Reach rural communities; ✔️ Provide transportation for patients; ✔️ and more!

We're asking Congress to protect and strengthen the 340B program while opposing policies like the proposed rebate model that would make it harder for health centers to care for patients. We urge Congress to support H.R. 10770, the 340B Rebate Model Delay Act today.

When times are tough, every health care decision matters. In 2022, South Dakota voters passed a law that changed the state constitution, so Medicaid would cover low-income adults. Vote to keep what was already decided. Learn more: communityhealthcare.net/medi…

Protect 340B. Protect patient care. The bipartisan 340B Rebate Model Delay Act (H.R. 10770) would pause the rebate model for two years and preserve upfront drug discounts for safety-net providers.

Health coverage doesn't just affect what happens at the doctor's office. When people can get care, they're better able to work, care for their families, and participate in their communities. That's why Medicaid matters beyond the people who are enrolled.
