Amazon (
AMZN) has built a vast empire, from e-commerce and streaming to groceries and electronics, off of its network of Prime shoppers. It's betting that its next big push, healthcare, will cement the company's place as an integral part of consumers' lives.
On Wednesday, the tech giant unveiled a new Prime benefit — a discounted One Medical membership. It's the latest move in offering more health services to Prime members as it looks to further its position in the entrenched industry.
Prime members will have access to One Medical's on-demand virtual care and in-person primary care appointments for $9 a month, or $99 annually, and will be able to add family members for $66 each annually. The family rate represents a 67% discount from the current rate.
I wonder if they will cover for my treatments.
I'm surprised it took this long.
