Plus in the UK taxes (VAT) is included in the headline price, whereas in the US taxes are shown during checkout (although, yes, US tax is typically around 5%, as opposed to the UK's 20%).
I did a quick calculation and it seems like the UK is "only" being overcharged by $21/£15 when you take into account VAT. Which may exist due to exchange rate shifting and the additional regulatory costs perhaps.
PS - An extra 15% sales tax for free healthcare is a good trade if you ask me. But each to their own. :)
