Amazon lowers cost of health care plan for Prime members to $9 a month - eviltoast
Amazon cuts price of One Medical membership to $99 a year as the e-commerce giant targets health care expansion.

Amazon is lowering the cost of a One Medical membership for Amazon Prime subscribers, shaving $100 off the annual fee to $99 a year. The step is the latest effort by the e-commerce company to mesh its chain of doctor’s offices with its retail services.

Amazon already runs a web pharmacy and a telehealth service called Amazon Clinic that uses third-party medical providers to help treat less serious conditions, like pinkeye. It’s also testing a service to drop medications on its pharmacy patients’ doorsteps via drone in an hour or less.

A Prime subscription runs $139 a year, also offering streaming services and quicker shipping.

    In a for-profit medical industry, what’s the difference?

    The implication is that Amazon is equal or perhaps even better. There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism but there are certainly tiers of depravity and degrees of separation, and absolving yourself of thinking about them doesn’t help. If Karen’s only crime is hating Amazon, that solidifies the woman hating origin of the meme.

      You are a Karen because you came here accusing me of being an Amazon shill in a post that has zero evidence pointing to that. I pointed it out and you still double down on your idiotic response.

      Go the fuck away already.
