Illinois bill seeks to protect 340B drug program access by blocking manufacturer dispensing restrictions.
A bill in Illinois, HB 2371, is awaiting a vote in the House to protect access to discounted drugs under the federal 340B program, which allows safety-net clinics and hospitals to purchase medications at reduced prices.
The legislation would prohibit drugmakers from restricting where 340B drugs can be dispensed, ensuring providers can use pharmacies that best serve their patients.
Advocates warn that current manufacturer restrictions hinder care for low-income and uninsured individuals, while opponents argue broader federal reforms are needed.
The bill, supported by health care groups and not requiring state funding, aims to prevent disruptions in patient access to essential medicines.
