This is why health care is inherently incompatible with free market capitalism. I cannot choose to boycott a provider; rather, I am held hostage and forced to spend money at the provider's discretion. If I need a refill on a medication, and the provider forces me to come in for an in-person visit with an out-of-pocket cost prior to refilling it, there is no recourse. I can either pay the provider what they are forcing me to pay, or I can start over with a new provider and pay them more.
That's why pure free market capitalism is a bad idea. Some things cannot be sustained on a for-profit basis if they're meant to be accessible to everyone, healthcare, unemployment insurance and education for example. These must be tax funded and not operated with profit in mind.
Important thing some of these people don't undrestand - noone has a problem with them boycotting specific games and calling to restrain from buying them (OK, ,,noone" is too much of a stretch), we have problem with people harassing others for playing them.
