I think they'd justify that by saying they need to ensure the funds they need for future research on other breakthrough treatments. This is not entirely baseless, but just another nail in the coffin for why medical research shouldn't be funded primarily through capitalist methods.

    400000% markup seems a bit excessive

    thats thier claim, but they recover those R and D within selling the drug for a few years. but we know they are partially if not entirely subsidized by the govt, i think all the pharms do is marketing, and poaching SCIENTISTS willing to do the research, some do fund it as well.
