Gene Green: “I hope that we can advance this legislation as well.”

I am a proud original co-sponsor of the ACE Kids Act.

The 340B Drug Pricing Program was created by Congress in 1992. It helps safety net providers care for their most vulnerable patients and afford drugs that would otherwise be out of reach.

But the work started long before 2016 led by colleagues Fred Upton and Congresswoman Diane DeGette.

I hope we all agree on the importance of 340B and the need to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible to reach more eligible patients and provide more comprehensive services.
