DPC Appears on KY3 Missouri Opposing 340B Expansion

On Thursday, Missouri Governor Mike Parson opted out of taking action on a bill, SB 751, aimed at expanding the out-of-control 340B program in the state.

Following the Governor’s decision, DPC said this, “While the required discounts are supposed to be passed on to low-income consumers, instead what happens is the hospitals charge the normal price to your insurance or to the patient and keep that money.” DPC stands firm in its support of better access to medicines for people in need, especially in rural Missouri.

The governor’s inaction means the bill will become law by default and take effect August 28.
