15+ hour, 38+ min ago (210+ words) Maine hospitals are joining others across the country in a lawsuit that seeks to stop a Trump Administration pilot program that will makes changes to a drug discount program known as 340B. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Maine by the Maine Hospital Association, St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, the American Hospital Association and three other medical centers across the country alleges that the changes would impose additional costs and administrative burdens on hospitals that are already financially strapped.
