I think Humalog/Novalog patents expired a while back. These companies will probably focus on other newer drugs for profitability like Semaglutide which is useful for dealing T2D and obesity.

Another thing that needs to be investigated is how much the PBMs (Pharmacy Benefits Managers) prpfit from the spread of drug pricing. Are they marking these drugs up a lot? Do they need to be tightly regulated?

Jokes on them. I can buy raw semaglutide powder two steps off a Google search at 10% of retail.
