Here’s the thing: Solving what the drug industry sees as the problem here — their profits taking a hit while regular people benefit — would, if your really listen to this former Trump adviser, PROOOBABLY means another huge, taxpayer-funded, “we promise it’s the last time but this time it’s fine” BAILOUT here, just as a gift to drug companies.

That former Trump adviser? Joe Grogan. He was Trump’s assistant and director of the White House’s Domestic Policy Council, but before that he headed government affairs for Gilead (a Pharma company that hates 340B). So he has no reason to be siding up with 340B defenders, and yet just days ago, he said at a big health care summit, “If you solve the 340B problems, there’s no question, some hospitals are going to be under pressure” and “[The federal government doesn’t] have the money to shore up the community hospitals and solve the 340B problem.”
