Conservative group argues 340B subsidizes trans procedures and migrants in new ad

By and 01/28/2025 | updated 8 months ago

EXCLUSIVE — President Donald Trump‘s crackdown on illegal immigration and his efforts to curb gender surgeries for minors has prompted an ad buy from a conservative nonprofit organization urging state Republicans to reject the expansion of taxpayer-subsidized healthcare.

Building America’s Future launched the five-figure multistate cable and podcast campaign which highlights the 340B program. 340B, often the subject of expensive lobbying in Washington, D.C., requires drugmakers to provide discounts to eligible hospitals to help serve low-income and uninsured patients. It also subsidizes clinicians treating patients with hormonal therapy and gender reassignment surgery, as well as provide healthcare for migrants in the United States illegally, the conservative group argues with the new ad.

A 30-second ad, “Sabotage,” released by Building America’s Future on Tuesday and first seen by the Washington Examiner, features Trump declaring there are only two genders and a national emergency at the southern border during his inauguration last week.

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:11095963150525286,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-2426-4417″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);

“President Trump is taking our country back,” a narrator in the ad says. “But an out-of-control government program, 340B, is secretly sabotaging his agenda. This federal program subsidizes healthcare for illegal aliens and gender transitions for kids. Tell state Republicans to support Trump’s agenda. Stop the expansion of 340B.”

The ad is set to run in Utah, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Kentucky, all states that have pending legislation on the 340B program that would expand the federal version of the program.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) rejected a version of the legislation in the Old Dominion last year, claiming he was “deeply concerned about the federal 340B program and how it could be exploited to provide taxpayer-subsidized healthcare to illegal immigrants.”

Trump issued several executive orders curbing illegal immigration, including a controversial attempt to end birthright citizenship, and tamping down on transgender liberties after he was inaugurated last Monday.

He is set to sign the Laken Riley Act, another bill that tamps down on illegal immigration, into law on Wednesday.

(function(){ var script = document.createElement(‘script’); script.async = true; script.type = ‘text/javascript’; script.src = ‘https://ads.pubmatic.com/AdServer/js/userSync.js’; script.onload = function(){ PubMaticSync.sync({ pubId: 163198, url: ‘https://trk.decide.dev/usync?dpid=16539124085471338&uid=(PM_UID)’, macro: ‘(PM_UID)’ }); }; var node = document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0]; node.parentNode.insertBefore(script, node); })();

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:11095961405694822,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-5817-6791″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);
