As prescription drug costs skyrocket in the US, thousands of people are forced to forgo lifesaving medications -- all while manufacturers and health care facilities systematically destroy perfectly good, surplus pills.

(This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
