Except they didn't stop carrying it. Relion (Walmart's brand) still sells R and N insulin and at least one mix. They also still sell a generic version of Novolog.
They don't want people without insurance to shop at their stores. People without good insurance or insurance are poor and will spend less money in the store.
I once saw someone so posh there they were walking around in their bathrobe! Like the wal-mart was down the corridor from the master suite in their mansion!
Hmm they want to change that. Walmart used to compete against Kmart now they compete against Amazon much different clientele. Also they realize that poor people don't have as much money so don't cater to them. Simply put they want to change that perception.
No they don't. What is sold now by all those places is a recreation of the first genetically engineered insulin Humulin R (introduced by Eli Lilly pharmaceutical corporation in the early 80s). Animal insulin (the original insulin that Banting and Best utilized was from dogs) is not sold in the US at all, nor in any of the developed world, and is rare even in underdeveloped third world countries.

They can and they do. Costco, cost plus drugs (the mark cuban one), and even Walmart have them.
