It is crazy what the incentives do in the US.

It is a bit like car insurance here, which keeps rising because insurance companies keep edging the cost of a claim upwards (courtesy cars at extortionate rates, repair, ...) because there's no insentive to keep costs down or not profiteer.

With the NHS's buying power for drugs, they can get a little bit nearer a sensible margin from the supplier rather than the insane US costs underwritten by inflationary insurance.
