December 3, 2012—Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.), a leading advocate of expanding and improving the 340B drug discount program, announced that she will retire from Congress in February.

The 16-year veteran lawmaker is an original co-sponsor of the 340B Program Improvement Act (H.R. 2674)[1], which in addition to extending 340B discounts to the hospital inpatient setting would lift the restriction on rural and free-standing cancer hospitals’ access to 340B pricing on orphan drugs.
