Insulin is $25 at Walmart for a vial that lasts a month. 2 vials if you’re fat. Find out where you read about “astronomically high insulin prices” and consider what else that author lied about

Yup, what drove that price drop, was it a technical breakthrough?

Given that in 2019 10ml of insulin outside of USA was what $20? in the USA it was ~250?

Not aware of any price drop. Walmart always sold dirt cheap insulin and it was never $250. You’re thinking of brand name insulin.
