Who We Are

About P4ADNOW

Patients For Affordable Drugs Now is a bipartisan national patient organization fighting to lower drug prices.

WHAT IS PATIENTS FOR AFFORDABLE DRUGS NOW?

Patients For Affordable Drugs Now is a bipartisan national patient organization focused exclusively on policies to lower drug prices. We help educate and mobilize patients in support of legislation to fix our broken system. To maintain our independence, we do not accept donations from organizations that profit from the development or distribution of prescription drugs. Touted by The Hill as “a leading drug pricing advocacy group,” Patients For Affordable Drugs Now helps patients share their drug pricing stories and ensure lawmakers are listening.

WHAT DOES PATIENTS FOR AFFORDABLE DRUGS NOW DO?

Patients For Affordable Drugs Now works at the community, state, and federal levels. We help mobilize patients to support legislation to lower drug prices across the country and engage in electoral campaigns to elevate the issue of high drug prices in political debate.

In fighting for change, we recognize that communities of color are more likely to face high prescription drug prices associated with diseases like cancer, diabetes, and asthma. As an organization dedicated to lowering drug prices, we cannot ignore the fact that racism is an insidious, systemic force that touches every part of our society, including drug pricing. We refuse to accept that status quo. We are fighting to fix the broken system. 

Where does Patients For Affordable Drugs Now get its funding?

Patients For Affordable Drugs Now — a 501(c)(4) organization — had 2022 revenue of $2,147,206 from Arnold Ventures which is funded by Laura and John Arnold.
