340B is half the reason hospitals can even help treat homeless individuals, people who can't afford their bills, people on end of life care, etc.

I've consulted with two large health systems that begin with A and they use 340B to subsidize all sorts of treatment.

Unfortunately American healthcare naturally seeks to socialize treatment, but instead of it being direct its in the most round about ways.
