Insulin manufacturers Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi were named in the suit, as well as providers CVS Caremark, Express Scripts and Optum Rx

The lawsuit, to be filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by Attorney General Rob Bonta, is the latest in a parade of legal actions against these companies from states across the political spectrum — all who have accused the corporate giants of abusing their power to quash competition and boost their profits by keeping the price of insulin high.
