An increasingly dysfunctional program. That is how the Pioneer Institute describes the 340B drug program. Created many years ago with the hope of helping uninsured, low-income patients receive discounted drugs, the program has ballooned into a scam.

On this week's podcast Dr. Bill Smith joins us to talk about fixing the 340B Program and returning it to its original intent.
