Health care facilities serving rural areas will be hit particularly hard by potential changes to the drug discount program.

In 2015, the discount program accounted for only 2.8 percent of annual drug purchases in the U.S., but big drug companies are using their influence with members of Congress to threaten this small, effective program.

While patients will suffer from changes to the drug discount program, guess who will win? Big pharmaceutical companies who will see their net profits – already more than 25 percent – soar even higher!

The drug discount program doesn’t cost taxpayers anything.
