The House Ways & Means Committee is considering legislation that would enhance visibility into how non-profit hospitals use their tax-exempt status by requiring clearer, more detailed reporting on charity care, spending on community benefits, and revenue from the 340B program. In addition to meaningful reporting requirements on non-profit hospitals’ spending, the bill introduces long-overdue transparency into 340B utilization and profit.
Over a hundred billion dollars in tax breaks and revenue from the 340B program go to non-profit hospitals every year. Yet they spend far less on charity care and community benefits than required to justify their tax-related subsidies, all while raking in profits and charging patients more. 340B providers and their for-profit partners make 18 times more from the program than a decade ago, with no line of sight into how they are using the profits. Health care costs continue to rise, and patients suffer. It's time to change this and bring transparency and accountability to how these hospitals use their tax-exempt status. It's time to hold hospitals accountable and cut out waste, fraud, and abuse.

AI is our modern-day moonshot, and nowhere are the stakes higher than in healthcare. @AmericanEdge’s new ad features an aneurysm survivor and shows how AI helps doctors act sooner and save lives. To reap AI’s benefits, we must continue to build and invest in AI. youtube.com/watch?v=Fzk9V66R…
One in 50 Americans is living with a brain aneurysm, and half of those who suffer a rupture die. @AmericanEdge’s new ad with the Brain Aneurysm Foundation @BAFOUND shows how AI now helps doctors catch aneurysms before they rupture. AI in healthcare is a game changer. youtube.com/watch?v=Fzk9V66R…
AI is transforming American medicine, discovering treatments, detecting disease sooner, and saving lives. China wants to dominate AI. America must stay in front. Watch @AmericanEdge’s new ad: youtube.com/watch?v=Fzk9V66R…
We must hold congress accountable. Things like PBM's and consolidated Insurance providers hurts all of us. We cannot continue to exclude millions from healthcare. Healthy communities start with access to care. Read more on @PhRMA 's red flags from the recent hearings.
Holding congress accountable is crucial for equality in healthcare. @PhRMA exposes insurance companies and their predatory practices that deny care for patients and raise health care costs for all.
While federal funding for insurers reaches record levels, many in the Black community continue to face rising premiums and restricted care. 📉 We must ensure that resources are used to improve community wellness #PatientFirst #CommunityWellness @HouseCommerce @WaysMeansCmte

Health Equity Collaborative welcomes bipartisan PBM accountability legislation introduced by @MikeCrapo and @RonWyden to increase transparency, curb harmful incentives, and lower costs at the pharmacy counter. #HealthEquity #RxCosts #Transparency
All patients deserve transparency about the systemic practices driving up the cost of medicine.
HEC is encouraged by the bipartisan #PBM Price Transparency and Accountability Act—an important step toward ensuring all Americans can access affordable, essential medications.

We are proud to support the DC Mayor and Council's introduction of a bill to stop predatory ticket scalping. Now, lets get this done!
The D.C. SCL Global Policy Initiative commends the D.C. Council for introducing a bill to stop predatory ticket scalping — but, like Mayor Muriel Bowser, we are concerned about the bill’s ticket price caps provision:bit.ly/3JvPAbo
The @GOPHELP @HELPCmteDems hearing today focuses on how the #340B program affects low-income patients. We applaud the Senate HELP Committee’s efforts to restore the program’s original mission and protect patients. Watch the hearing live here: help.senate.gov/hearings/the…
Reforms are needed to the #340B program to curb abuse and better tailor the program to benefit safety-net providers and their patients. Thank you @GOPHELP and @HELPCmteDems for examining the program during the upcoming hearing. This is a critical step toward real #340BReform.
