We are working hard to stop this law (Senate Bill 71) that would make it legal for mega-hospitals and drug middlemen to take even more drug discounts than ever. These profiteers get paid full price (in many cases) for drugs that they buy through the 340B program at a fraction of the cost. Then they keep the difference instead of passing the savings on to us!
If you agree we need to stop this from getting worse, there are two things you can do:

Sample Letter:
Dear Senator Daugherty, My name is [Your Name], and I am a resident of District 19. I am writing to express my strong opposition to Senate Bill 71. This legislation would give giant hospitals and drug middlemen unlimited power to take drug discounts that belong to Colorado’s struggling families.
I urge you to vote NO on SB 71 and stand with your constituents in protecting healthcare affordability and accessibility. Your leadership on this issue is critical to ensuring that Colorado’s at-risk and underserved families are who benefit from the 340B drug discounts, not mega hospitals and drug middlemen.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing you take a stand against SB 71.
Sincerely,
