The Drug Companies Bill
Stop drug companies from squeezing safety net clinics
Prohibit certain actions re: reimbursing 340B covered entities
Good for everyday people ·
This bill stops big drug makers from blocking special discounts that help local clinics afford medicine for low-income patients.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Local clinics rely on a special program to buy cheaper medicines for people who cannot afford them. Lately, big drug companies have tried to block these discounts to keep more money for themselves. This proposed bill would make it illegal for drug makers to play games with these important refunds in Ohio. Drug companies might argue the current system is too messy and needs strict rules to stop fraud. But without this protection, local health centers could lose the money they need to stay open and help regular people.
