In the new two-minute video, David Mitchell, a cancer patient and the founder of Patients For Affordable Drugs, walks through the threats drug corporations perpetuate to scare patients and mislead lawmakers. For example, according to the Congressional Budget Office, we can reduce pharmaceutical industry revenue by up to $1 trillion over the next decade and lose only eight of 300 expected new drugs — only one or two of which are likely to represent true therapeutic advancements, studies show.

“When you pull back the curtain on pharma’s fear-mongering, its claims that any constraints on its unilateral pricing power will destroy innovation just don’t hold up,” said Sheila McLean, executive director of Patients For Affordable Drugs. “The truth is Americans are paying almost four times what people pay for brand drugs in other countries; clearly, there is plenty of room to lower drug prices and preserve innovation.”

“We can restore balance to our system,” Mitchell explains in the video. “We can have fair prices and profits and get the innovation we need. Don’t fall for Big Pharma’s big lie.”
