Keeping 340B funds in our state requires state legislation.
LD 1018 will protect Maine’s 340B program from
Big Pharma’s discriminatory efforts.
Ongoing actions by pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy benefit managers are diverting savings away from patient care and into corporate pockets. State legislatures across the country are taking action to ensure that the health care safety-net can continue to access this program.

State Legislatures across the country are passing protections for the 340B program to prevent Big Pharma’s discriminatory practices.
