ROFL It’s tragic that Amazon is in the insurance game…That’s when you know it’s a true dystopian present getting started in full gear.
This looks like a low end concierge medicine program more than insurance.
I just tried to say something sarcastic but, yeah; In truth, I do agree with your assessment of Amazon OneHealth. As it’s a hybrid of a low end concierge medicine program with a tiny amount of insurance-like benefits.
Started? Oh sweet summers child, Sony has been making more in the life insurance raquet than anything else Sony makes for decades… and they are one of the few megacorps I still buy from.
Sony… and they are one of the few megacorps I still buy from.
Dear God, why? Between the continuous pushing of proprietary formats and the fucking rootkit they inflicted on people via music CDs almost two decades ago, they were one of the first megacorps I started boycotting!
I was never aware of that fact, as I never expected that Sony would be in on that kind of scheme! There’s too much going on and I simply can’t take it all in. However, this doesn’t surprise me as megacorps will do whatever it takes to make as much money as possible! Since buying power makes right (up until they get a firm slap on the wrist). 🥴

While the US healthcare system is very broken, isn’t this actually a good deal?
My Prime membership pays for itself about 8 times over because the one medication I have is so cheap through Prime vs insurance.
But it’s a little worrying that the company famous for undercutting competitors to drive them out of the market is doing this with healthcare.
I work for one of the largest health care companies in the US and I can attest that they are genuinely concerned with what Amazon is doing right now.
Let them fight
If there’s anything good about this, it’s that insurance providers at least have plenty of margin to fall back on when lowering prices to compete.
Wait, this is real?
Why. Why does it have to be this way.
Yep. Unfortunately, this is real.
Check out costplus meds. I also have prime and one of the meds my girlfriend takes is still cheaper on costplus. Mark Cuban runs it.
From what I could find out you still have to pay the office you use. This subscription doesn’t actually cover the actual appointments.
I could be wrong, but that is what it seemed like to me.

I owe my soul to the company store. "
The company store is slowly making its way back in vogue
Phony stark already spun up Tesla company towns, the elite want a return to feudalism and company stores are a key part of that
How the fuck can a bookstore evolve into a healthcare provider? Where the fuck are we living anyway? I need this to stop.
“Welcome to Costco, I love you.”
For an Australian, this is like going back in time 10 years and you have to pay for it lol
One medical is actually a pretty good service and it’s fucked up that Amazon bought them

I miss when Goodreads had updates.
What a goddamn joke, fuck this planet can we be fucking exterminated already? Jesus christ
Don’t worry, with all the pollution, war and climate change going around, we ain’t staying on this planet for too much longer.
