This is why the UK, Canada, and other countries have banned pharmaceutical companies from pulling this sort of sh_t.
Admittedly, I don't know how to fix our current healthcare problems because it's complicated and it's easy to make things worse, but this is something that should have been handled eons ago. It's not hard to stop these companies from doing it. We just don't want to do it. After all, politicians have to get paid somehow.
