  My Prime membership pays for itself about 8 times over because the one medication I have is so cheap through Prime vs insurance.

  But it’s a little worrying that the company famous for undercutting competitors to drive them out of the market is doing this with healthcare.

    I work for one of the largest health care companies in the US and I can attest that they are genuinely concerned with what Amazon is doing right now.

      If there’s anything good about this, it’s that insurance providers at least have plenty of margin to fall back on when lowering prices to compete.

    Check out costplus meds. I also have prime and one of the meds my girlfriend takes is still cheaper on costplus. Mark Cuban runs it.

  From what I could find out you still have to pay the office you use. This subscription doesn’t actually cover the actual appointments.

  I could be wrong, but that is what it seemed like to me.
