As you well know, @GovKathyHochul went ahead w/ the devasting #340B carve-out, despite the immediate impact it will have on WNY communities and patients in need of #healthcare. Take a look at what we can expect thanks to her. Repeal the “carve-out!” #Leave340B

#340B funding has been life-saving for many WNY citizens. Patients who’ve come to rely on programs like this for health & well-being will be turned away thanks to @GovKathyHochul. Learn More: bit.ly/3kYj6KB #Leave340B

When we say the #340B carve-out is already impacting WNY citizens NOW, we are absolutely not kidding. These patients are becoming desperate for care they deserve and ER’s will be overrun once again. Take Action Now: bit.ly/3kYj6KB #Leave340B

.@GovKathyHochul’s #340B carve-out is quite literally taking food and other resources from the most vulnerable chronically ill patients and families in WNY. Take Action Now: bit.ly/3kYj6KB #Leave340B

Citizens of NY are writing to @GovKathyHochul imploring her to put #340B funding back in the #NYS budget for #communityhealth centers like @EvergreenHS. #LGBTQ patients are now forced to seek critical care outside the #WNY area. Send your letter: bit.ly/3kYj6KB#Leave340B

@RyanHealthNYC calling it what it is @GovKathyHochul: Blatant disregard. @Leave340B
The pharmacy benefit carve-out shows blatant disregard for Ryan White providers and the NYers living with HIV they serve. We need a reversal of the carve-out now. @AmyPaulin @CarlHeastie @NYSenatorRivera @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyHochul @HealthNYGov #CancelTheCarveOut #Save340B

Let’s face it @GovKathyHochul … “ill prepared” would be the best anyone could say about NYS’s efforts around this entire process. @Leave340B

And finally...REASON #10: There is ZERO clarity. #RyanWhite organizations are left wondering how to split a paltry $30 million, while having no idea how Amir Bassiri got to that number. Thank you for following along! bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B

@GovKathyHochul what happened to combating health disparities? Silence is consent. Buffalo patients deserve better than your empty promises. #leave340 – at Buffalo, NY
REASON # 9: 42 years of progress in ending the #AIDS epidemic in #NYS is set back at least 20 years due to one man’s gross negligence in defunding #HIV organizations through the Medicaid Carve-out. Learn more: bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B Stay tuned for #10!

We are already suffering the impact of the poor rollout of NYRx after 21 days. Please ask the Assembly to support A5911/S5136 that will fix this mess this budget cycle. #REJECTtheCarveOutNY #save340B @AmyPaulin @Leave340B #DontCutTheNet @PatriciaFahy109 bit.ly/42PkdgG

In a state that has prioritized health equity and has declared racism as a public health emergency, @GovKathyHochul and DOH has now succeeded in putting systemic racism and an inequitable health consequence into the FY24 budget. Learn more: bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B

Who in their right mind sends state money back to the federal government? Amir Bassiri and @GovKathyHochul do! As 70 cents of every $1 in #340B rebates under the “carve-out” will not go to community agencies, but rather back to the feds. bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B Stay tuned for Reason #8 next!

REASON #6: Amir Bassiri tells #FQHCs not to cut programs, not to cut staff, but can’t promise the availability of hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Small #healthcenters do not have these kinds of reserves and will shutter. bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B Reason #7 coming up next…

REASON #5: #NYS DOH promises a “make whole” fund that requires federal approval that takes at least a year – and it hasn’t even been submitted for federal approval. No money is flowing anytime soon. bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B Stay tuned for Reason #6 tomorrow...

REASON #4: The $9 MILLION emergency funding for Ryan White providers proves the state knows we’ve fallen off a fiscal cliff – why else would we need emergency funding? Which is, by the way, MUCH LESS than what is needed. It won’t work. bit.ly/Leave340B#Leave340B

REASON #3: @GovKathyHochul’s DOH had MORE THAN TWO YEARS to formalize, finalize & communicate how it will make up the funding difference, there still is no plan. Negligence & incompetence at its finest. bit.ly/Leave340B #Leave340B
