## Resource

Kansas just passed Senate Bill 20 to crack down on pharmacy benefit managers—those sneaky middlemen who pocket huge profits by charging insurers way more than they pay pharmacies. The law forces PBMs to be transparent, ending hidden markups and leveling the playing field for everyone from pharmacies to patients. While local pharmacy owners like Will Anderson face short-term revenue dips—his saw an 11% drop—he’s adapting with quirky side hustles like selling artisan soaps. The real win? Predictability and honesty in pricing, paving the way for smarter healthcare decisions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
