Health Equity Collaborative

LETTER RELEASED: 43 orgs open letter to #Congress and #Trump Admin outlining guidelines to empower patients. @POTUS @RepJeffries @SenSchumer @SecKennedy @DrMakaryFDA @NIHDirector_Jay @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats @HouseGOP @NRSC Read letter here: healthequitycollaborative.org/wp-content/upl…

For diverse communities, "lower prices" shouldn't come at the cost of "lower access." 🩺💊 The latest @ThirdWayTweet report highlights why Most Favored Nation (#MFN) pricing is a risk. Importing foreign price controls often means importing foreign barriers to care—barriers that hit underserved populations the hardest. We must lower costs without widening the health gaps.

NEW BLOG: Today, the @HouseCommerce Subcommittee on #Health is convening to discuss healthcare affordability.

Tomorrow’s @HELPCmteDems @GOPHELP markup is critical for the disability community. The bipartisan Charlotte Woodward Act/"Charlotte's Bill" MUST pass to end organ transplant discrimination. We urge @BernieSanders & the Committee to keep the markup clean. Don't let partisan games sink a bill that saves lives. 🏥⚖️ help.senate.gov/hearings/s-160…

The 340B program was built for patients, not hospital bottom lines. It’s time for common-sense reforms that ensure these deep discounts actually lower out-of-pocket costs for the people who need them most. 💊📉 #340BReform #SOTU2026 #POTUS

True inclusion means ensuring patients with disabilities have stable, uninterrupted access to care. We're listening to the #SOTU for a commitment to strengthening Medicaid, not hollowing it out. 🏥🛡️ #DisabilityRights #POTUS

A historic win for patients! With the signing of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, we are finally seeing the #PBM reforms we've fought for. This means more transparency and a focus on lowering out-of-pocket costs. 🥂💊 #PBMReform #HealthcareWin #SOTU2026 #POTUS

#Congress, be our Valentine! It’s time to put patients first with meaningful #340B reform. 🏛️✨ Reforms can: ✅ Stop $4B in duplicate discounts ✅ Increase transparency ✅ Ensure savings reach the people, not the bottom line #Healthcare #PatientsFirst healthequitycollaborative.org/340bemyvalenti…

Valentine’s Day is about the heart, but the #340B program is losing its way. 💔 Created to help low-income patients afford life-saving meds, it’s increasingly becoming a “buy low, sell high” windfall for hospitals—while patients pay full price. 📉 #340BeMyValentine

Thank you, @EnergyCommerce, for today’s hearing on the drug supply chain. To lower costs for families, we must focus on 340B reform that prioritizes transparency and ensures savings go directly to patient care. Great to see the Committee tackling these root drivers! 🏥💊 #HealthCareAffordability healthequitycollaborative.org/hec-to-congres…

New op-ed from Kevin Kimble, Founder and Executive Director of @SCLGPI and #HEC community member: Healthcare isn't truly accessible if people can't afford the premiums. As costs rise, the gap in health equity widens, leaving the most vulnerable behind. It’s time to treat rising premiums like the equity crisis it is.
