A neurosurgeon at a San Francisco 340B hospital who once was a health policy fellow for U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and who is doing research for a free-market oriented think tank has written a stinging reply to former U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D-Calif.) recent ode to 340B in the journal Health Affairs.
“The 340B program was intended to provide a financial buffer for institutions such as the one where I work,” Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio wrote in his Feb. 1 response to Waxman’s Dec. 7 essay praising 340B on its 30th anniversary. “However, the 340B program has become gamed by large corporations to increase revenue. It is no longer serving its original intent.”
