Summary
The Trump administration is cracking down on prescription drug costs for Medicare patients by targeting hospitals that use the 340B discount program — aiming to slash hospital reimbursements by 40% and save patients up to $800 annually. The move, set to take effect next year, could save $1.1 billion but has sparked fierce pushback from hospital groups worried it’ll cripple care in low-income communities. This is part of a broader push to curb soaring drug prices — and make Americans pay less than their peers in other wealthy nations.
