The 340B Prescription Drug Program is an essential tool for uninsured patients to access lifesaving medicines. The program is designed to help patients access cheaper medicines that would otherwise be unobtainable. However, 340B is failing to deliver lower costs for patients, and hospitals all too often use it to improve their bottom line over patients care.Join us for breakfast on Thursday, March 7th at 9:30 AM ET to hear from Congressman Scott Peters and a panel of experts discussing the 340B program. While Congress considers health care transparency legislation, this dialogue will give insight into what 340B is, current issues with its design, and how the program can be improved.Where: 2075 Rayburn House Office Building, 45 Independence Ave SWWhen: Thursday, March 7th, 9:30 - 10:30AM ETOpening Remarks:Congressman Scott Peters (D-CA)Panelists:<ul><li>John Wilkerson (Moderator), STAT</li><li>Vacheria Keys, National Association of Community Health Centers</li><li>Nicolas Ferreyros, Community Oncology Alliance</li><li>Robin Strongin, National Consumers League</li></ul>
