Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. (mastodon.world)

Much better strategy: you take the medicine... survive... and refuse to pay in protest. Sure, you might get sued for non-payment of bills... then a bunch of people can fight a class action lawsuit against pfizer.
