The Oklahoman op-ed: “This bill was supposed to help OK patients. It fattens hospital wallets instead.”

In The Oklahoman of Oklahoma City today, Domestic Policy Caucus Secretary/Treasurer Kent Kaiser, Ph.D., has an op-ed published, asking lawmakers to reject legislation that aims to expand the federal 340B program. 

In part, DPC wrote, "[A] loophole in the law allows hospital systems and pharmacy chains to keep for themselves the financial benefits that are meant for patients. Obviously, this well-intentioned but seriously flawed program needs to be fixed, and expanding it is not the answer to prescription drug affordability in Oklahoma."
