David Mitchell died at the age of 75. He was the founder and president of Patients For Affordable Drugs. He helped launch the Patients for Affordable Medicines project to raise awareness of high drug prices and work to reduce them. As a cancer patient, he led personal advocacy that helped elevate the voices of other patients in the media and at the highest levels of government. In 2017, he started by sharing one patient's story, which led to the mobilization of patients in all 50 US states. The organization has more than 38,000 patients who share their stories and support reforms to lower drug prices. Patients For Affordable Drugs is the only national patient organization focused exclusively on policies to lower drug prices and does not receive funding from the pharmaceutical industry. David was named to the Washingtonian's list of the 500 most influential people in Washington three years in a row for his work on drug price reform.[1]
