Safety delayed is safety denied. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has postponed updates to its Five-Star Safety Rating Program, leaving consumers without critical information to compare vehicle safety. ow.ly/PKIg50X0zvc

Prescription drug costs keep rising while pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) profit in the shadows.

NCL led a letter with 30+ orgs urging the Department of Labor to rein in #PBM practices, demand transparency, and put patients, employers, and consumers first. Read our letter: ow.ly/izC150WNCPc

Imagine when women couldn’t vote. Just 105 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was certified after decades of organizing, protest, and hard-fought wins in Congress and the states.

This anniversary reminds us that women’s rights are hard-won, not guaranteed.

The NCL team took a moment to recharge—with a lunch cruise on the Odyssey! 🌊 While our work advocating for consumers and workers never stops, a little time together on the water was the perfect way to refuel and reconnect.

💰Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) made $7.3B in profits last year, while many patients struggle to afford their medicines. That’s not cost-saving — that’s exploitation. We need real reform and transparency in how our medications are priced. It's time to rethink the role of PBMs: ow.ly/4FPg50Wf54W

Medical debt is rising while hospitals profit from a program meant to help patients afford medications. Congress must act to get the 340B Drug Pricing Program back on track. #340BReform

🚨Counterfeit GLP-1s are flooding the market. @nabp's Josh Bolin warned during Wednesday's @HouseCommerce hearing:
“That’s really, really scary when you think that people are injecting these [counterfeits] into their body.”

🎙️ New episode: Unlocking Affordable Medicine

💊 Biosimilars are safe, lower-cost versions of pricey biologic drugs—but too many patients still can’t access them.

NCL CEO Sally Greenberg talks reform, savings, and breaking down barriers: ow.ly/Lf6i50W8wNr

WATCH: The 340B Drug Pricing Program was designed to help patients, but instead, it's padding the profits of big hospitals and other healthcare entities. NCL is urging Congress to bring transparency, accountability, and oversight to 340B.

📢 78% of Oregonians agree: #340B savings should help patients—not disappear into hospital backroom budgets. As HB 2385 threatens to expand a system lacking transparency, we’re urging @govtinakotek.bsky.social to veto & stand with patients.

🥗 Food is part of every moment—but behind every bite is a safety system you rarely see.

#WorldFoodSafetyDay is June 7. 48 million get sick from foodborne illness each year. We need stronger oversight, not less.

NCL has fought for food safety since 1899. ow.ly/pCKA50W4nV

The #340B program was created to help patients afford medicine—not secretly boost hospital profits. HB 2385 would expand a system that already lacks transparency and oversight. Oregon needs accountability.

@govtinakotek.bsky.social, stand with patients and #VetoHB2385. #ORleg

🚨 California is proposing cutting coverage of anti-obesity meds for low-income & disabled adults on Medi-Cal. This is dangerous, costly & unfair. Add your name to stop it: ow.ly/cgsh50W4P4A

🛑 Oregon just became the 15th state to ban child marriage—no exceptions. It’s our 3rd win in 2025, after Missouri and DC. But 35 states still allow it. This is a human rights crisis. Every child deserves protection. Tell your lawmakers: end child marriage. No loopholes.
May 29, 2025 at 3:53 PM
NEW POLL: A majority of surveyed Americans support #340B reforms that ensure patients—NOT hospitals—benefit from drug discounts. 78% of them want to see 340B savings help patients afford their drugs. See what else the public had to say: bit.ly/ncl-poll-340...
