51. How can you boycott necessary medications?

People can't boycott lifesaving drugs. That's the problem here. People NEED what he's selling so he figures he can charge anything he wants and get it.

So there seem to be two approaches here. One, the ideal, would be regulation. That may be difficult given the current state of our government (Republican intransigence on pretty much everything). The other is simply for people who act like this to face massive public disapproval. This kind of behavior needs to become shameful and unacceptable.

Make people who act like this pariahs: Child beaters, pedophiles, rapists, and medicine price gougers.

Currently, this guy's name and face are all over Facebook and everywhere else. He's facing massive public shaming and pressure. I'm hoping that we'll see a change in the pricing of this drug in the near future.
