Amazon is adding a prescription drug discount program to its growing health care business. The retail giant said that it will launch RxPass, a subscription service for customers who have Prime memberships. Amazon said people will pay $5 a month to fill as many prescriptions as they need from a list of about 50 generic medications, which are generally cheaper versions of brand-name drugs. The company said the flat fee could cover a list of medications like the antibiotic amoxicillin and the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen. Amazon sells a range of generic drugs through its pharmacy service. Some already cost as little as $1 for a 30-day supply, so the benefit of this new program will vary by customer. The program doesn't use insurance, and people with government-funded Medicaid or Medicare coverage are not eligible. It will be available in 42 states and Washington, D.C. at launch. Any program that gets low-cost generic drugs to more patients “is a good thing,” said Karen Van Nuys, an economist who studies drug pricing at the University of Southern California. But she added that she wasn't sure how much of an impact RxPass will have. She noted that the program is limited to Amazon Prime customers. Other options like the Mark Cuban CostPlus Drug Co. sell more generic drugs, many for under $5. “I just don't know that it's expanding access to a new set of patients,” Van Nuys said. Still, the move could help the company take up some more space in the health care market, even though it has not always been successful in its aim. Last year, the company shuttered its hybrid virtual, in-home care service called Amazon Care after it failed to get traction from employers. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/ZojwdCSiZug   Amazon has cooked up yet another plan for providing healthcare.  This time it's called Amazon Clinic, and its a web-based platform that will broker a hookup between patients with common problems and providers willing and able to treat them.  The problems they treat include: acne, dandruff, erectile dysfunction, male balding, tobacco overuse, sinusitis, birth control needs. motion sickness, urinary infections, heartburn, allergies, pinkeye, yeast infection, and miscellaneous prescription refills.  The site handles initial communications.  Payment arrangements are between you and the providers.  The service is available in 32 states.   This is Amazon's third try in the healthcare realm.  After failing in its attempt to provide healthcare for its own employees via Amazon Care which is closing at the end of the year, the online behemoth also participated in Haven the failed employer healthcare venture  launched with Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase.   https://clinic.amazon.com   #amazon #healthcare #venture   

Hi folks, I'm at high tide with work and symptoms acting like a three-year old. But I wanted to put this out to let folks know that the Amazon.Care service has closed.    It is a little embarrassing for me. I had posted the episode in August and three weeks later the telehealth service began the process of shutting down.    From what I can suss out, there were several reasons for the service going down, and I'm getting my information from the Washington Post newspaper, some of the industry publications, and I believe there was an actual internal memo from Amazon that was cited in some of the news reports.   So this is just a quick informational update plus a little bit about my Twitter concerns.

The Semiconductor Industry Is Coming for Your Wallet - DuckDuckGo Should Be Your Go-To Search Engine - Which Messaging Apps Are Secure: Signal vs. WhatsApp - The Upside-Down Logic of Electric SUVs - Biden Goes Nuclear POWER! Amazon might own your doctor's office after their latest acquisition. The Semiconductor Industry Is Coming for Your Wallet. As Usual, Congress Is Complicit https://fee.org/articles/the-semiconductor-industry-is-coming-for-your-wallet-as-usual-congress-is-complicit/ In recent months, the auto and tech sectors have faced unprecedented delays and rising prices. Some used cars are even selling for more than their new counterparts because of the delays, a sure sign that production has slowed dramatically. To address this, Congress is contemplating bipartisan legislation known as the Chips Act, which would provide $52 billion in grants and $24 billion in tax credits to the US semiconductor industry. Unfortunately, thanks to a last-minute bipartisan amendment, the bill will also put tens of billions of dollars toward various federal agencies, bringing the total price tag to $250 billion. ++++++++ DuckDuckGo Should Be Your Go-To Search Engine. Here's Why https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/duckduckgo-should-be-your-go-to-search-engine-heres-why/ Since Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal, people have become more aware of what information they give companies and advertisers, sometimes without their knowledge or consent. Unfortunately, the data breaches also rose to a record high of 1,862 in 2021. As a result, more people are taking steps to protect their information, and one way some folks do that is by using the search engine DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo has positioned itself as a privacy-focused alternative to search engines like Google. DuckDuckGo has rolled out Android and iOS mobile apps and browser extensions to help keep your information secure, no matter if you use it on your phone or computer. Stop online trackers from spying on you You'll see fewer ads Websites should load faster Your search history isn't stored Your browsing history won't influence your search results. ++++++++ Messaging Apps That Are Secure: Signal vs. WhatsApp https://www.thestreet.com/technology/messaging-apps-that-are-secure-signal-vs-whatsapp Two messaging apps, Signal and WhatsApp, have become commonplace for people to talk to each other instead of sending a text. The Signal is more secure since the app provides end-to-end encryption by default, and the company does not keep records of your communications. However, while messages on WhatsApp are specific, end-to-end encryption is not on by default, leaving the responsibility up to consumers. One advantage of Signal is that "all of your messages are stored locally on your device and not Signal's servers," the spokesperson said. "Signal doesn't have access to what you send or with whom you communicate with and does not hinfluencethe content anyone receives. EIn addition, every call and message sent through Signal is encrypted by default." A hiccup is that, based on the history of Meta, the company keeps data forever. ++++++++ The Upside-Down Logic of Electric SUVs https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-upside-down-logic-of-electric-suvs-vehicles-co2-emissions-ford-subsidies-climate-change-auto-sector-11658524738 The auto industry gambles its finances on big electric vehicles for the rich, like Ford's Mustang Mach-E and GM's Hummer EV, and second-rate cars for everybody else. If consumers and businesses cared about the CO2 they emit, the last cars they might buy are hot-selling EVs like Ford's Mustang Mach-E or GM's Hummer EV. These large-battery, long-range vehicles would have to be driven many tens of thousands of miles before they rack up enough mileage and save enough gasoline from compensating for the emissions created to produce their batteries. And that's according to their fans, whose calculations often smell of friendly assumptions about the source of the electricity consumed, whether gasoline driving is being displaced mile for mile, and a presumed lack of progress in reducing the carbon intensity of conventional motor fuels. The most problematic assumption is that EV use causes oil to stay in the ground. ++++++++ Biden goes nuclear https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/07/biden_goes_nuclear.html Biden wants to turn to nuclear power in his zeal to end the burning of carbon-based fuels. As well, he should. Because nuclear is as carbon-friendly as windmills or solar parks and is a lot more reliable.  President Biden has made several pro-nuclear statements within the past few weeks. ++++++++ Amazon might own your doctor's office after the latest acquisition https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/07/amazon-might-own-your-doctors-office-after-latest-acquisition/ When Amazon launched Amazon Care to its employees in 2019, the goal was to test the product before rolling it out nationwide. After that rollout happened earlier this year, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told Insider that the expansion would "fundamentally" change the healthcare game by dramatically enhancing the medical-care process. He predicted that patients in the future would be so used to telehealth and other new conveniences that they'll think that things like long wait times and delays between in-person visits commonly experienced today are actually "insane." The Wall Street Journal reports that Amazon has gone one step closer to that future by agreeing to a $3.9 billion deal to purchase One Medical, a company that operates a network of health clinics. With this move, Amazon will expand the number of patients it serves by gaining access to "a practice that operates more than 180 medical offices in 25 US markets and works with more than 8,000 companies to provide health benefits to employees, including in-person and virtual care."

Greetings Glocal Citizens! I'm back in Accra, hurray for endless summer living! Each year as the summer fades in the northeastern hemisphere, I make my way back to the equatorial region to meet the sun again and recharge my creative self. Similarly, my guest this week, one of my oldest and dearest friends, found her recharge in her relocation from the US to Nairobi, Kenya. Born and raised in New York, Dr. Michelle Donald is an experienced business-minded physician, with expertise in pediatric medicine, preventative medicine and public health, she is passionate about developing and implementing clinical programs that merge technology and healthcare delivery systems to improve health outcomes. In her last role as the Medical Director of Value Based Care at New York's Northwell Health, she established an innovative care model utilizing healthcare analytics, payer data and strategic clinical partnerships to proactively assess and identify vulnerable populations needing medical attention. A trip to Tanzania in 2018 changed the course of her life, it was during that trip that she decided to move to East Africa and develop digital health programs expanding access to quality healthcare. In February of 2020, she resigned from Northwell to pursue her dream of democratizing healthcare for all by building an effective, affordable, digital health platform that can be used to improve care delivery across a variety of health care settings. Michelle is also seeding a social movement that she calls The Ungrind which is an outgrowth of the years-long creative evolution that continues to be her unfolding global lifestyle.

When thinking about the innovative technologies that are contributing to the evolution of digital health, the theme of collaborative efforts between clinicians and technologists continues to be central and of high-value. This episode focuses on the evolution of personalized medicine and the devices that are on the forefront of shifting the way healthcare is practiced as well as the clinical-expertise that helps along the way. This episode's guest is Dr. Ben Green who is an SVP of Services for AliveCor. Prior to AliveCor, Dr. Green spent 4+ years at Amazon where he was Principal of Healthcare Innovation for Global Benefits and the founding Chief Medical Officer for Amazon Care. Prior to Amazon, Dr. Green was the Regional Medical Director at Landmark Health, a patient-centered, comprehensive, house-call model designed for vulnerable patients. Prior to Landmark, Dr. Green spent 8 years at Carena, Inc. of Seattle where he was the Medical Director for Clinical Innovation. While there he helped to usher in the transition from in-person house calls to telemedicine model, and built a team of medical professionals focused on this novel field of medicine. He was directly involved in building the clinical software and operational infrastructure to deliver safe, high quality, and evidence-based primary care telemedicine. Dr. Green holds a BA from Harvard University in Biological Anthropology, an MD degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and completed his Family Medicine residency at the University of Pennsylvania. Other topics in the episode range from how clinical executives are contributing to innovations in healthcare to best practices on career mapping to the historical presence of home health. For more details visit TechLink Health @ https://www.techlink.health or connect with Dr. Green @ LinkedIn Profile. This episode was hosted by Justine Reiss and Dr. Rodney Samaan. The episode has several references to the connection between tech and healthcare as well as technologies that are helping to evolve the industry. See below:

In this episode, we unpack Amazon's efforts to “disrupt U.S. healthcare” (apologies for the new age business lingo!). And after their spectacular failure to disrupt anything, we talk about Amazon's pivot from “disrupting” the healthcare industry to joining it. About a month ago, Amazon purchased One Medical, an in-person and virtual subscription-based healthcare service (the so-called “Netflix of healthcare”). What does Amazon's move into the healthcare industry mean for patients, and how could it impact the social movement for Medicare for All? Are we moving toward a future where you have to ask Alexa to take a look at that potentially cancerous mole on your ass? https://youtu.be/YdrQywbwjU8 Show Notes Amazon has been trying to break into the healthcare industry for some time now. What exactly are they trying to do and how successful have they been? In 2018, Amazon forms Haven with JP Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway, claiming they will “disrupt” healthcare industry by lowering costs and improving outcomes. Had completely insufficient market power or leverage to do that effectively. So then in 2019 Amazon launches Amazon Care, a “concierge care” service for its employees, quickly expanding to other employers (like Whole Foods and Hilton) who could offer Amazon Care as part of their own business's employee benefits package, and then eventually to the general public. (This is a common strategy at Amazon – they created Amazon Web Services to satisfy their own customer service needs then started selling it to other companies and now it's one of their most valuable assets.) It was abruptly shut down in late August 2022 after the One Medical merger.Most recently in July 2022, Amazon buys One Medical in an all-cash deal worth 3.9 billion One Medical has had its own problems that sound eerily familiar to the issues doctors had with Amazon Care – a model that once again stresses profits over healthcare.Basically doing with healthcare what they did with groceries by buying out Whole Foods - when Amazon Fresh wasn't catching on they simply bought out one of their biggest competitorsYou could sort of call One Medical the Whole Foods of health care rather than the “Netflix…” mostly rich people use it. Why would Amazon WANT to move into the healthcare industry, where they have zero experience? Money and hubris of course! This is the only industry in the US that always growing and seems to be recession-proof, and Amazon really believes they are capable of doing anything, even when they are batting 0-for-2 in their healthcare projects. Study in White Male Privilege! Amazon's business model emphasizes speed, convenience, and efficiency for the consumer above all else, and they seem intent to carry this forward into their healthcare ventures. What are the potential problems of applying this approach to healthcare? How is it going to affect patients? Amazon Care is a good first case study:Even before it was shut down, there was some whistleblowing going on behind the scenes as medical staff complained that the company's practices were putting profits over patients: From an August 2022 Washington Post Article: “While planning to expand Amazon Care beyond Seattle, Amazon managers wanted to avoid building a physical hub. Instead, they asked if nurses could store and dispose of medical supplies at home and stabilize patient blood samples using centrifuges in their personal cars, the two former nurses said. They said the staffers protested the ask.One Medical seems to be a perfect fit for the Amazon model, even before they were bought out:In 2021 Congress convened a special subcommittee to investigate companies like One Medical for using the pandemic to increase their revenue. In the final report, Rep James Clyburn said “Troublingly but unsurprisingly, in the chaos and confusion of the Trump Administration's mismanaged early vaccine rollout, self-interested vaccine providers like One Medical and its executives sought t...

Radio Advisory is rounding out its health care disruptor series with an episode about possibly the biggest disruptor of all – Amazon. Their acquisition of One Medical is among the biggest investments in care delivery by a non-health care entity. The acquisition has kicked off an arms race for physicians, with organizations like CVS announcing their own massive deals. In this episode, Rachel (Rae) Woods invites digital health experts John League and Ty Aderhold to discuss why Amazon's investments – and failures – are a catalyst for the rest of the industry (and where they are going next).

Seriously, Consumers Want a Better Digital Experience Jason Considine discusses key findings from Experian Health's recent research that the “digital divide” in healthcare is also a generational and economic divide. 61% of patients that they surveyed would consider switching providers if they offered a better digital experience for accessing care and paying for it. Jason dives into the role of finances in consumers' health decisions and how healthcare organizations can use this information to design better consumer experiences. All that, plus the Flava of the Week about the stunning news that Amazon will not be offering Amazon Care after the end of the year. If Amazon Care really wasn't a ""complete enough offering,"" does that say anything about employers being the brokers of healthcare benefits?

One of the silver linings of the pandemic has, in fact, been, the expansion of telehealth services and virtual care delivery. The pandemic has also accelerated the healthcare industry's transition from fee-for-service to value-based care. The continued growth of telehealth is fueled by providing incentives for care delivery in the lowest cost settings, identifying and interacting with highest-risk individuals before disease onset, managing care teams with more efficient workflows, and taking advantage of digital remote technologies. Virtual care is an easy and cost-effective path to achieve value-based care, thereby improving health outcomes and patient satisfaction across a broader population of patients. Our guest this week, is Dr. Carrie Nelson, the Chief Medical Officer for Amwell, a leading digital care and telemedicine company.  Dr. Nelson is a seasoned physician leader committed to healthcare transformation. She has demonstrated success in innovation and change management, physician engagement, solution development and deployment, value-based care, managing and coaching other leaders and delivering results.  Before joining Amwell as Chief Medical Officer and President of their Amwell Medical Group, she served as the Senior Vice President and CMO for Population Health and Health Outcomes at Advocate Aurora Health.  She also served as the Chief Clinical Officer for Advocate Physician Partners, a benchmark organization known internationally for delivering value-based care in collaboration with about 5000 employed and independent physician practices. With more than 28 years' experience as a Family Medicine provider, Dr. Nelson is an innovative physician leader with a proven track in quality improvement, patient safety and population health.

The trend of "quiet quitting" has recently gained traction on social media, referring to a phenomenon in which workers reduce their enthusiasm at work and stick to the minimum expectations of their role. What does 'quiet quitting' look like at hospitals? Some healthcare experts say the Amazon Care shutdown is a strategic play and not a failure. What happens when telehealth expansion is put under the microscope? How does it address concerns about access, quality of care, equity and program integrity? Key Points: How do we keep ‘quiet quitting' from happening?

“The great corporation which employed you lied to you, and lied to the whole country—from top to bottom it was nothing but one gigantic lie.”― Upton Sinclair, The JungleIn this bonus episode we hear from Matt, who was recently fired from an Amazon Warehouse in Campbellsville, KY for attempting to organize a union with his coworkers in response to brutal working conditions that involve walking more than 20 miles per shift, temperatures that can rise as high as 100* in workspaces, breaking bones, and more. The abuse of Amazon doesn't stop in the Warehouse though… this company is attempting to turn the whole country into one big company town from the sounds of it: Amazon Care health services? “Affordable housing” for workers who get evicted as soon as they aren't working for the company?

Executive Director Krista Drobac talked to McKnight's Home Care about the organization's main challenge — getting policymakers on board — and the group's success — exposing the diversity of care that is possible in the home. She voiced opposition to the proposed home health rule and said she was as surprised as everyone else when Amazon Care, a founding member of the coalition, disclosed it is closing at the end of the year. Meanwhile, she is excited about the possibility of Medicare Advantage, which is “showing the way of what could be done in fee-for-service,” she said. Follow us on social media:Twitter: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecareSocial for Moving Health Home:@MoveHealthHome

Laura Dyrda talks about what's new in the Digital Health + Health IT industry

People talk about cost savings or about longevity but if you frame it with how many doctor visits you're going to have per year, you want that to be the lowest number not the highest number. So, how do we prevent people from getting into an ICU? How do we do this when on the other side with capitalism you have people saying, “how do we get more people in here?” There's this real tension in the health care system.Vin Gupta, MD, MSt, MPA, is a Critical Care Pulmonologist, Senior Principal Scientist and Chief Medical Officer of COVID-19 Response at Amazon, and Affiliate Faculty at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, part of the University of Washington. Vin previously served as Principal Scientist at Amazon Care and, prior to that, was part of the Apple Clinical team in a part-time capacity working on its pulmonary roadmap for the Series 6 Apple Watch. Additionally, he served as health advisor on the Biden-Harris Transition's COVID-19 Response team, and currently serves as a senior medical advisor to several organizations, including T-Mobile, Inc, Thermo Fisher Scientific, the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners. Though, his background doesn't stop there.On this episode of HLTH Matters, Vin joins hosts Dr. Gautam Gulati and Dr. Jordan Shlain to discuss the future of public health and the pandemic response within Amazon care and how they are working through tension found in the healthcare system. Vin describes the steps being taken to make the majority of primary care virtual for patients with prevention in mind rather than sickness alone.

It is late and I typed out a long passage about how entrepreneurs and corporation looking to boost revenue are looking at the U.S. dysfunctional health system.  And that page got eaten by the spiritual gremlins of mischief. So this is the short version. AmazonCare is a new virtual healthcare service from Amazon. It provides primary care, pharmaceuticals, some diagnostic services and, in my opinion, mental healthcare lite.  Before you hippity hop over to the site you should know that someone is squatting on the .com domain. Don't go there. The correct address is Amazon.Care   If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at either 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741. Resources Mentioned:  The AmazonCare web site - currently it is Amazon.Care.

Rounding out another great week of troublemaking, we're talking about what a world looks like where Amazon knows your most private details, what the return of the rebate might look like and when, and Ford and GM ask the government for permission to go full autonomous.Amazon gets deeper into Medical Care with announced merger w/ One MedicalOne of Amazon's largest acquisitions to date at $3.9BOne Medical is a high loyalty, subscription based, brick and mortar primary care network operating in 19 markets and 100+ offices across the countryAmazon already offers “Amazon Care” for its 1.1M employeesMassive data privacy concerns are coming from One Medical customers and regulatorsAmazon has spent the last five years methodically squandering the Earned Trust needed for customers to embrace an acquisition like this. This is disappointing along multiple axes. My cancellation request has been submitted to @onemedical. The Return of the Rebate? “Right now, there is scant inventory, dealers are making more money than they know what to do with and manufacturers are stoked because they don't have to (offer rebates),” he tells Wards. “But that will change.”First, “manufacturers are sitting on millions of vehicles they can't deploy,” West says, referring to the partially built vehicles in abeyance.When the microchip shortage ends –predictions on when that might occur vary – and those vehicles are fully built, what will automakers do next?“I think they'll take a giant ramrod and shove them down dealers' throats,” West quips. “They don't have a choice. They still have to pay the unions whether they build vehicles or not.“Most of the OEMs are not building vehicles at the volume they need to find efficiencies at their facilities. But if you proceed on the assumption that eventually auto manufacturing will normalize, and the industry gets everything it needs to build as many vehicles as it wants to build, then you have a free-market environment again.”Take away: What do you think will happen? Let us know crew@asotu.com , we'll post some of the commentsGM and Ford ask US regulators for permission to release fully autonomous vehiclesNo gas pedal, brake, or steering wheelThe companies want to release 2,500 vehicles yearly for ride-sharing and delivery services using only their branded self-driving technology.A Ford spokesperson said the "petition is an important step toward helping create a regulatory path that allows autonomous technologies to mature over time, eliminating controls and displays that are only useful to human drivers."Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/Rock with us LIVE at ASOTU CON!

Amazon has been pushing into health care for years, starting with wearable health devices and pharmacy services. But the nationwide expansion of its “Amazon Care” service is its biggest move in the rapidly growing telehealth industry, which could grow to a $20 billion sector over the next five years. Most of Amazon's telehealth and in-person offerings are likely covered by HIPAA, but some of Amazon's other offerings, such as its partnership with Teladoc on the Alexa smart speaker, might fall into a gray area. Emily Birnbaum reports.

Only 25% of health is in the control of the healthcare system. So why does our country continue to pump the majority of its health care spending into a deficit-based health care model that focuses solely on the science of doing something to the individual? Aspirational Healthcare is a better answer, spending 75% on supporting the individual in the ownership and management of their own health. And employer-driven reform is the key that will unlock aspirational healthcare for millions nationwide. Our guest this week is Darrell Moon, CEO of Orriant, a company that changes the dynamics of health care and gives employers control over the ever-increasing costs of the health care benefits they offer their employees.
