Which insulin?
The ones descended from Banting, Best, and MacLeod's original invention
You can get human insulin from Walmart for 25 a vial without a prescription.
Insulin analogs are most prescribed and subject to pricing issues. Particularly important to those with insulin resistance.
Nobody has used those for years. New engineered insulins like Novolog have been going down in price for years. They can make tons of it now.
