Amazon's Discount Drug Plan: Game Changer, or a Day Late and a Dollar Short?
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) became a household name by revolutionizing the e-commerce industry. It was also instrumental in pioneering infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), paving the way for modern cloud computing. In recent years, the company has also made big strides in the digital advertising business. Yet Amazon is always on the lookout for its next big opportunity.
The company hasn't made any secret of its aspirations in the healthcare field. Amazon acquired prescription drug delivery company PillPack in 2018 and announced plans last year to acquire One Medical for $3.9 billion.
Now Amazon is taking the next step in its ambitious goal to revolutionize healthcare, offering a discount prescription drug plan to its Prime members. Will this alter the current healthcare landscape, or is it simply too little, too late?
