What would you do if you owned an independent pharmacy and you discovered that the only way to actually make money would be to stop filling most prescriptions?

As a result, some 2000 plus pharmacies have closed this year. How did we get here? Matt and David go behind the pharmacy counter to break it all down with Benjamin Jolley.
