That’s just a few, and just the ones they caught. It’s very hard to prosecute this case, and the incentive to collude is huge.

Interesting links! Thank you.
Since you're so critical of conspiracies, though, I'd (genuinely) love your take on something that does require a conspiracy:

(For me the Google amp link brought up the full article.

).
Without a conspiracy, what keeps any drug company from selling cheap generic insulin in the United States?
The reason I ask is that I really don't think so many companies can cooperate on price-fixing so I am looking for any other alternative explanation besides an illegal price-fixing conspiracy which I think would be very difficult to pull off among so many players and laws making it illegal.
But the comment you replied to isn't like that and doesn't require a conspiracy.
