In this episode of On Background, host Stephen Parente leads a roundtable at the HEAL Network’s 3rd annual Washington Health Economic Symposium (WHES). Health economists, academics, industry participants, and future leaders debate how to reform 340B without destabilizing hospitals that depend on its revenue. The discussion weighs transparency and auditing, patient-based payments, Medicaid transitions, hospital data access, and targeted support for financially vulnerable facilities.
