Kansas Commissioner Running For Governor

“Her office runs a nationally recognized volunteer effort that provides information and counseling to help senior citizens lower their prescription drug costs — leading 6,000 older Kansans to save nearly $2 million on medicine in 2001 alone,” the site says. “And she’s stood up for business owners large and small, protecting them from unfair treatment by insurance providers.”

Sebelius recently made national headlines by rejecting plans by Anthem Inc., Indianapolis, to acquire Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, Topeka, Kan.

Before becoming insurance commissioner, Sebelius served for seven years in the state House of Representatives.
