It's why the Department of Veterans' Affairs pays far less for drugs than Medicare/Medicaid. The VA is permitted to use its market power to bargain with the drug companies. Medicare/Medicaid is required by law to pay whatever the drug companies are charging.

That is how the NSA purchases pharmaceuticals for the British system.
