Hospital groups vow to continue legal fight after losing challenge to 340B payment cuts

Several hospital and healthcare industry groups vowed to continue their legal challenge to 340B cuts pushed by the Trump Administration after a court ruled against their appeal. “We are deeply disappointed that the courts have once again failed to rule on the merits of our case," the American Hospital Association (AHA), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and America’s Essential Hospitals said in a statement. On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down their appeal after a lower court dismissed their lawsuit earlier this year.
