They do so in part because it's trifling and in part because there's so much of it and so few of them. To put it another way, the amounts involved are rounding error and the article doesn't list any serious effects of the charged misdeeds.

The big players simply charge a lot to begin with for life saving treatments such as chemotherapy drugs...a lot more than a few hundred dollars a dose. YMMV.
