How Amazon is disrupting the healthcare industry
Amazon Prime has a new perk: on-demand virtual health care. But will it threaten the stability of traditional healthcare providers?
Do you use Amazon Prime for fast deliveries and streaming your favorite shows?
Your Prime benefit now comes with a new perk: On-demand doctors.
Whether you have a cold, an infection or a chronic issue , Prime Members can now make unlimited on-demand virtual primary care appointments for only $9 a month.
It’s through One Medical, which Amazon acquired for nearly 4 billion dollars earlier this year.
They also have over 200 in-person clinics across the country and a prescription delivery service.
With giving people easier access to affordable healthcare, Amazon may be saving lives, but also may be threatening the stability of traditional healthcare providers
