    • Wow! Guess this hit the #340B nerve! Two comments: This @modrnhealthcr study is nothing new. Just more proof. And 340B advocates saying Medicare/Medicaid underpayments go into charity care is absurd. Every physician faces these underpayments. Come on! https://t.co/kCLpOJHISi

    • Excellent @Health_Affairs OpEd by a physician on how #340B has mutated from original congressional intent. Well referenced unlike the made-up wishful thinking put out by 340B advocates. https://t.co/nhYUW5s77h
