In The Republican Herald, Kim D. argues that the federal 340B drug discount program currently lacks transparency, allowing large, tax-exempt hospital systems to absorb substantial savings while rural communities continue to lose access to essential care. Instead of letting institutions expand on these revenues without oversight, Kim D. advocates for Congress to mandate strict accountability and transparency, ensuring discounts flow directly to patients and deliver real, measurable relief to working families.
