Our broken drug pricing system

Friend,

While everyday Americans navigate the unprecedented crisis brought on by COVID-19, Big Pharma is profiteering off the pain of American patients.

So far this year, pharmaceutical corporations raised the prices of over 880 drugs. Now, they are warning they'll hike the prices on COVID-19 vaccines.

But our elected officials can do something about it RIGHT NOW. Sign this petition from Patients For Affordable Drugs NOW and tell Congress: American patients need help. Fix our broken drug pricing system!

SIGN NOW »

I founded Patients For Affordable Drugs NOW because the cancer drugs I depend on carry a list price of $900,000 per year. And whether or not patients like me can afford these drugs is quite literally a matter of life or death.

Patients For Affordable Drugs NOW is building a national movement of people dedicated to demanding that our leaders act to lower drug prices. People fighting for their lives and their livelihoods shouldn't have to worry about whether or not they can afford the drugs they need.

Right now, we have a real chance to pass meaningful reform to lower drug prices. Remind your members of Congress who they really work for: Demand that politicians in Washington take immediate action to fight high drug prices today!

ADD YOUR NAME »

Thank you,

David Mitchell
Cancer Patient and Founder
