340B Helps Keep Healthcare Affordable

Healthcare Gets Expensive Fast. 340B Helps Keep Care Affordable.

Millions of Americans, many under the age of 30, are struggling to afford healthcare. Rising premiums, lost coverage, and high prescription costs are forcing people, especially young adults and families, to delay or skip the care they need.

The 340B Drug Pricing Program helps community health providers keep care affordable by allowing them to stretch limited resources and reinvest savings directly into patient care — without using taxpayer dollars.

Healthcare affordability is no longer a future concern. It’s a daily reality. As costs rise and coverage becomes harder to maintain, people are forced to make difficult choices about their health. 

Patients delay doctor visits. Prescriptions go unfilled. Preventive care gets skipped.

These decisions aren’t about preference, but about price. When care is delayed, health problems worsen, and costs rise over time. Behind every statistic is a real person forced to choose between healthcare and other basic needs.

How 340B Helps Keep Care Within Reach

The 340B Drug Pricing Program was created to support patients facing the greatest barriers to care.
It allows eligible nonprofit hospitals, clinics, and health centers to purchase outpatient medications at discounted prices — and reinvest those savings directly into patient services

340B helps providers:

• Keep care affordable for uninsured and underinsured patients
• Help young adults and families access care despite rising costs
• Keep prescriptions within reach
• Maintain services when insurance falls short
• Keep clinic doors open in local communities

340B does not rely on taxpayer funding. It helps providers do more with limited resources, so patients don’t pay the price.
