The Healthcare Distribution Management Association Political Action Committee (HDMA PAC) is a qualified, multi-candidate PAC registered with the Federal Election Commission. A vital component of our advocacy efforts, the HDMA PAC is an effective way to become more politically active and support candidates who share the legislative priorities of primary, full-service distributors.
Every day, policies are enacted by legislators that can have a long-term impact on the viability of the healthcare distribution industry, including:
- Prescription drug anti-counterfeiting initiatives
- Distributor licensure and pedigree
- Electronic track-and-trace technology
- Importation
- Medicaid/Medicare
- Internet pharmacies
- Influenza (seasonal and pandemic)
- Federal tax issues, including LIFO reform
The purpose of the PAC is to:
- Provide campaign contributions to federal candidates for elective office who
are interested in policy issues that advance the safe, secure and efficient delivery of life-saving medicines;
- Provide HDMA and our member companies with a greater ability to communicate with elected officials;
- Inform and update PAC members about key legislative and regulatory issues that affect the healthcare distribution industry, HDMA member companies and customers.
